Mike Dufloth

From the foothills outside of beautiful Chico in northern California and recently retired, he attends just 2 or 3 major events a year since 2004 playing professional NLH and PLH poker tournaments as a hobby. Bankroll management is his key to success. He refuses to pay cash for tournament buy-ins, which is why he can always be found at one table satellites and only playing in tournaments he wins his seat for a fraction of the actual buy-in. He's from the "gentleman's old school of poker" where players don't cheer or rant upon winning or losing a pot and he quietly gets to the end where ever he shows up.

In 2008 he teamed up with his 21 year old son Joe who made the final table in his very first WPT event. Look for this poker family to "go deep" again in the near future."Chico Mike" has 5 final table appearances.
