What a way to light up a Wednesday in Tunica, Mississippi! Our very own Jaka Coaching star, Michael Ibekwe, took the poker world by storm, triumphing over a field of 129 players in the $400 WSOP Circuit Event #9 at Horseshoe Tunica. Thanks to skill, grit, and a sprinkle of that Jaka Coaching magic, he walked away with his third WSOP Circuit ring along with a cool $10,630 in prize money. Talk about a midweek masterpiece! 🎉
Michael isn’t just a poker star; he’s also a successful real estate developer. In fact, he spends his days building communities and closing deals with the same focus he uses at the poker table. At the same time, he manages to balance two demanding careers. Because of that, his story is a great example of what’s possible with discipline and dedication. As a result, he continues to succeed both in business and on the felt. With the help of world-class coaching, his game keeps getting sharper. Ultimately, this third ring is more than just a prize—it’s proof that Jaka Coaching students are turning their training into real wins.
But what’s behind this success? Michael shared some insight into his journey:
“Jaka Coaching has really helped improve my game and take it to the next level—especially the MTT Crash Course and videos on Big Blind defense. I’ve watched each video in the series two to three times, taking detailed notes. Then, before each tournament, I review those notes as part of my prep. Since I live in Atlanta, I have to travel to most series, but every time I go to play, I feel confident enough to run deep. The consistency I’ve found is all thanks to my work with Fausto Valdez and Jaka Coaching.”
A Win Worth Celebrating
Picture this: 129 players, a packed poker room, and the high-stakes tension of a WSOP Circuit event. Despite the pressure, Michael stayed cool, weaving through the competition with sharp focus and unwavering confidence. As the final table neared, he seized control, delivering a strategic masterclass that made Jaka Coaching proud. That $10,630 payday? Well-deserved. His third ring? Absolutely earned.
Meanwhile, the poker community in Tunica was buzzing. Michael’s win drew plenty of attention—and for good reason. After all, it’s not every day someone walks in and dominates like that.
