[user25067]

Before deciding to play poker full-time, James Mackey was a pre-med student at the University of Missouri. Widely known online as "mig.com," last year, Mackey captured his first WSOP bracelet in the $5,000 NLHE event, where he made quick work of a final table that lasted only 2 1/2 hours and included Michael Binger, Nick Schulman, and Michael Gracz. He also took down the $1,050 buy-in WCOOP event on Poker Stars last September for over $580,000. Only 22 years old, Mackey's live career earnings are already closing in on the $1 million mark.
