Mike Jukich put a huge exclamation point on his poker career, winning the 2022 World Series of Poker $1,500 Monster Stack for nearly $1,000,000.
Mike Jukich topped a field of 6,501 entries to win the event, and celebrated by leaping onto the table of the PokerGO main stage.
“This is just crazy, this tournament”
Mike Juckich said after his victory:
“So, what’s haunted me before was in 2013 I think I was chip leader with 12 left in a $1,500 event and $720,000 up top and I ended up getting 12th and was devastated. So I didn’t get in the Thunderdome, didn’t mark it off the bucket list of making a WSOP final table, none of that. I was super disappointed. I just never really ran good any summer I was out here until I finally had a deep run in the Main Event after the 12th-place finish. But yeah, I was pumped this year. They switched it up. The Rio will always have a special place in my heart because it was the first World Series that I went to when I was 21, but I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m just stoked that they’re going to get a new place, new run good new, new everything. I was playing a full schedule no-limit events and just I won a small MGM tournament a week ago. Then I just hopped in here. This is just crazy, this tournament.”
