Biography
Nick Schulman is an American professional poker player who began playing poker in his teens and soon made his way to the virtual felt online. Because he couldnt play in brick-and-mortar card rooms until he was 21, Schulman spent his days grinding it out online. He studied the game and improved over the years as he climbed the limits. When he eventually turned of legal age, Nick took to live games and played in underground clubs in New York City.
Schulman’s first recorded live poker tournament result also happened to be the first of many outright victories. Schulman entered the $10,200 WPT World Poker Finals in Mashantucket in November 2005, and he went all the way, clinching the $2,167,500 top prize. Two years later, Schulman almost won the same tournament again but ultimately finished as runner-up to Michael Vela and had to console himself with an $864,652 second-place prize.
Nick Schulman’s WSOP Bracelet Victories
| Year | Event | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 2009 | $10,000 NL 2-7 Draw | $279,751 |
| 2012 | $10,000 NL 2-7 Draw | $294,321 |
| 2019 | $10,000 PLO8 Championship | $463,670 |
| 2023 | $1,500 Seven Card Stud | $110,800 |
After knocking on the door of a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet several times, Schulman captured his first piece of poker jewelry at the 2009 WSOP, triumphing in the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw event, a result that also came with $279,751 in prize money.
Since 2010, Schulman has regularly cashed in live events commanding buy-ins of $10,000 and above. A fourth-place finish in the $100,000 Super High Roller at the 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure came with a $400,000 bankroll boost.
In 2012, Schulman won his second WSOP bracelet by coming out on top of the same $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 event he’d clinched three years earlier. Amazingly, in 2015, Schulman fell at the final hurdle in the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 event; a certain Phil Galfond defeated Schulman heads-up.
Bracelet number three found its way to Schulman’s wrist in 2019, this time in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Championship. A week later, Schulman walked away with the second seven-figure haul of his career, banking $1,187,802 for a third-place finish in the $100,000 High Roller event at the 2019 WSOP.
At the 2023 WSOP, Schulman became a four-time bracelet winner after winning the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event.
Schulman ended 2023 in style, racking up over half a dozen cashes in PokerGO our events, including winning the $25,500 PGT Poker Masters for $374,000.
Despite “only” having two cashes worth seven figures, Schulman has still accumulated over $16.9 million in live poker tournament earnings.
