Local poker player rakes in $1.2 million

Poughkeepsie family cheers on young man against world's best

When he was 18, Michael DeMichele began his professional poker career at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, Oneida County.

When he was legally able to play in the bigger poker rooms of Las Vegas, the former Poughkeepsie resident moved out west at 21.

DeMichele has always known he belongs in the world of poker. Early Monday morning, he showed why.

The 23-year-old, who attended Arlington High School in Freedom Plains, placed second in a field of 148 entrants at the HORSE World Championship event at the World Series of Poker, held at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
