Michael “Martine23” Martin first garnered the attention of the online community for his success in the high-stakes cash games. But things started out small for Martin when he first picked up the game in college. While attending Penn State University, Martin cut his teeth on $5 games with his buddies. Soon Martin deposited his winnings onto True Poker, and it didn’t take long until he would see his first glimpse of success. After taking down the site's big Sunday tournament for more than $2,000, Martin was able to spread his money around to all of the major sites and really make some noise.

Martin’s biggest online win to date was for taking down the PokerStars Wednesday Hundred Fifty Grand, earning $44,555. He followed that up with a fierce two days in August of 2007 when he was able to cash for nearly $75,000 over four tournaments. But live poker has also been a lucrative endeavor to Martin, who took second place in the 2007 Master Classics of Poker main event in Amsterdam for $531,961.
