Mike Leah has been one of Canada’s top online and live poker pros for years – he has published results going back to 2006 – and he has been a regular visitor to big events here at Playground Poker Club. Widely known by his online alias GoLeafsGoEh, he even has (tongue-in-cheek) special permission to wear his trademark Toronto hockey jersey while at the tables here in the Montreal area.
For all of his success in the past, nothing predicted his monster year so far in 2014. Leah kicked off the year with a side event win in a $5K Turbo at the PCA, followed it up with a string of successes at events throughout North America… and then he went to Florida, where he placed 2nd in the huge $5K SHRPO Main Event. Then it was off to Australia, where he won the A$25K High Roller event at the World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific in Melbourne. Mike has gone from being a successful, well-respected poker pro to a superstar in a matter of just a few months.
Mike Leah arrived to take his seat in the 2014 WPT Montreal – and he seems to be continuing his mission to win anything and everything in 2014 – he asked floor staff immediately to confirm that he correctly understood the re-entry rules for this event!
