Michael Jacob Dulberg

Michael Jacob Dulberg is a Canadian poker professional who has built a solid tournament career primarily through online and circuit events. According to his WSOP.com profile, he has amassed $128,920 in total earnings across 52 cashes, with eight final table appearances. He has not yet won a WSOP bracelet or Circuit ring, but his consistent results place him among the steady grinders of the poker world.

Dulberg’s most notable WSOP performance came in the 2025 World Series of Poker, where he posted his career-best live score in Event #67: $300 Gladiators of Poker No-Limit Hold'em. Battling a massive field, he finished 34th for $15,770, more than 50 times his buy-in. The event was described as "one of the summer’s most chaotic value-packed events," and Dulberg's composure earned him recognition as the top Canadian finisher in that tournament.

Earlier in the same WSOP, he also cashed in the $10,000 Main Event, finishing 437th for $35,000 — his largest single cash to date. Additionally, he placed 34th in the $300 Gladiator event and collected $1,200 for 737th in the $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship. Over the course of the 2025 WSOP, Dulberg recorded three cashes totaling over $52,000.

Beyond the live WSOP, Dulberg has found success in WSOP Online events and WSOP Circuit stops. In 2023, he finished runner-up in a $50 event for C$13,307 and placed third in a C$1,050 tournament for C$15,847. More recently, in early 2026, he scored a second-place finish in a WSOP Circuit event at Deerfoot Inn & Casino for C$17,787, followed by another runner-up result for C$14,481 in a $210 tournament. He also notched a fifth-place finish in a C$400 event for C$7,037.

On the online side, Dulberg has cashed in multiple WSOP Online series, including a second-place finish in a 2023 event and several top-50 finishes in 2025. His WSOP Online cashes alone account for over $22,000 in earnings.

While detailed hand histories are scarce, Dulberg is generally perceived as a patient, disciplined player who excels in large-field, high-variance tournaments. His ability to navigate deep runs in events like the Gladiator and the Main Event suggests solid tournament fundamentals and emotional control. He tends to focus on mid-stakes events and has built a career through consistent, calculated play rather than flashy victories. His multiple runner-up finishes indicate he is often in contention but has yet to break through for a title.

Michael Dulberg represents the backbone of professional poker — a player who may lack the headline-grabbing bracelet but demonstrates the skill and resilience needed to sustain a career. His path offers a blueprint for aspiring tournament players: steady bankroll management, selective event choices, and the ability to perform under pressure in large fields.
