Nick Shulman was drawn to the cards at a young age, and by the time he was 17-years old, he was playing online. His successes were few and far between in the beginning, but with an intense study of the game and countless hours at the computer grinding it out in low limit games, he began doing well enough to call himself a professional poker player at just 19 years of age. Since he was too young to play in casinos, he continued to play online and count the days until he could play live poker.

Finally, Schulman turned 21 and immediately turned to the underground clubs in New York City and the cash games in Atlantic City. Even though he got his start online, Schulman was well-versed in many games, with Stud Eight-or-Better being his personal favorite.

Schulman burst onto the tournament scene at Foxwoods, just one month after he became old enough to play in U.S. tournaments. Playing in Season IV’s Foxwoods World Poker Finals He crushed the competition and the record books by becoming the youngest WPT winner. He took the title and over $2 million in prize money, then returned in April of 2006 to complete in the invitational WPT Battle of Champions, which he also won.

In 2007, Schulman returned to the scene of his 2005 WPT win, final tabling the World Poker Finals a second time. He fell short of becoming the first player to win the same WPT event twice, finishing second for over $860,000. Between those two big scores and six other cashes, Schulman has over $3.2 million in WPT earnings.

Schulman found WSOP success in 2009 when he won his first bracelet in the $10,000 No Limit Deuce-to-Seven Championship. He final tabled that event a second time in 2011, finishing in fifth place. All told, Schulman has five WSOP final tables to his credit and at the age of 27 he already has over $4.8 million in career tournament earnings.
