Former SuperNova Elite Mike Ziemba on Surviving Black Friday and Grinding Online in NV
Mike Ziemba is a former PokerStars SuperNova Elite player who had his dream job stripped from him when Black Friday struck the Internet poker world. Since that dark day in April 2011, Ziemba spent time traveling abroad to play, attempting to play live cash games in Las Vegas, and anxiously waiting for online poker's triumphant return to the United States.
