Michael Gentili is a 24-year-old professional poker player from Windsor, Ontario. His breakthrough result came this past summer at the WSOP, where he finished as the runner-up in a $5,000 event for nearly a half-million dollars. He’s also the owner of a WSOP Circuit ring, having won a C$365 event in his home country a few months prior. In total, Gentili has one live victory and close to $700,000 in career earnings, and he’s put himself in a good position to increase both of those numbers this week in The Bahamas.
