Michal Kadziela

Michal Kadziela began playing poker around 12 years ago, starting with online games before transitioning to live tournaments. He is also known by the nickname "kadziel" and has been an active contributor to the Polish poker community.

Kadziela's biggest achievements came during the 2016 WSOP Circuit at King's Casino in Rozvadov. He won a ring in Event #6: €330 Seven Card Stud, earning €4,360. Later that same festival, he finished 5th in the €1,650 Main Event for €63,059, one of the largest scores of his career.

In 2023, Kadziela won the Main Event of the Poker Fever Cup in Olomouc, adding another significant title to his resume. He has accumulated over 60 paid finishes in live tournaments.

Kadziela is known for his interest in mixed games like H.O.R.S.E. and Seven-Card Stud, which he believes can improve one's Texas Hold'em game. He prefers live poker over online, citing the ability to read opponents and the social aspect. He is also a fan of the big blind ante format and has discussed strategies for dealing with bad beats.

Outside of poker, Kadziela works as a tournament reporter and has a passion for the video game Hearthstone. He is an experienced product owner and system analyst in the banking industry, but his poker career remains a central focus.
