Mike Patrick

Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, via Victoria, BC, and now residing in Toronto, Ontario, PokerOrg Senior Live Events Reporter Mike Patrick is a proud Canadian who loves his hockey but risks deportation for his belief that Tim Horton’s coffee and donuts are mid at best.

With a background in broadcast journalism, Mike moved from a career in sports television to poker media in 2021. Since then, he has traveled the world, reporting on major poker events including the WSOP, WPT, EPT, and more.

While he of course enjoys the Cadillac of poker, Mike really appreciates a diverse garage with mixed games capturing much of his poker-loving heart, both playing and having reported on many prestigious events, with the $50,000 Poker Player’s Championship at the top of the list.
