Michael Gags30 Gagliano
Michael "Gags30" Gagliano has been a professional poker player since 2009, amassing more than $8 million in tournament cashes across live and online play. Over the course of his career, he has captured four WSOP bracelets, cementing his place among the game's most accomplished tournament players.
Before turning pro, Michael worked in an elementary school—an experience that laid the foundation for his second passion: coaching. He began teaching the game in 2010 and has since worked with more than 50 students from around the world, helping them sharpen their skills and reach new heights. His students have gone on to claim multiple major titles, including the WSOP Main Event.
Beyond playing and coaching, Michael has consulted for several major casinos and online poker sites, advising on product development and player experience to help operators better serve their customers.
