WSOP Main Event: Keep an Eye on Dentale
NOTE: This article is being released days before lineups are due for the World Series of Poker Main Event. Be sure to verify this player’s status when lineups are due.
He’s brash, he’s bold, he’s relentless, he’s great for tv and – as he says himself – he’s UNBELIEVABLE – Michael Dentale (GPI#346) is everything that’s great about America, all in one package – we advise to keep an eye Dentale for your WSOP Main Event team as America celebrates its independence today.
In fact, seeing Dentale enter the halls of the Rio to Hulk Hogan’s classic “I Am a Real American” theme and the place may very well go bonkers … why not rip the t-shirt off like Hogan used to while you’re at it, the ladies would certainly appreciate it.
Now before you think that Dentale is all sizzle and no steak – you couldn’t be more wrong. Sure the ESPN cameras loved him during their coverage of the 2012 Main Event but one quick look at Dentale’s Hendon page should help you to understand that Dentale – who is also a full-time businessman – is the real deal.
Dentale’s 2013 campaign already includes a total of 11 cashes, including a 51st place finish at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown in Ft. Lauderdale (Kevin Eyster) and a recent 100K score it the Big Stax Poker Series (Jonas Wexler) at the Parx Casino in Pennsylvania.
In total, Dentale – aka Mikey Unbelievable – has collected over 50 cashes -mostly on America’s East Coast – since his first live tournament score back in 2008. With his experience at the 2012 Series, Dentale is certainly a threat as the 2013 Main Event looms. At a current FPM Market Price of less than 12,000, Dentale could be a perfect fit on your team without taking much cap space – keep him in mind!
One last note: Dentale has cashed twice in the Main Event in his poker career … that’s also something to keep in mind!
