Seat 4: Michael Duek - Argentina (Resides in FL, United States) - 49,775,000 (41bb)
Michael Duek is something of an unknown quantity at the 2022 WSOP Main Event final table, something that could play to his advantage. Until this summer's World Series of Poker, Duek had four cashes, from late 2017 to early 2021, recorded on his Hendon Mob profile. The largest of those was worth $34,929.
Duek decided to enter the $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller at the 2022 WSOP where he finished 31st for a $44,253. Duek then finished in the money in a $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event and in the $5,000 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha tournament. Before jumping into the $10,000 WSOP Main Event, Duek notched a six-figure cash in Event #69: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed Championship, where he finished in third for $548,015.
Will coming from a PLO background hinder Duek's chances of becoming the 2022 WSOP Main Event champion?
