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

YearEventPrize
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 Tour 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.

WPT Global Poker Games

1. What is a flight tournament?

A flight tournament has multiple qualifiers (or Day 1s), and the top X% (usually 10-20%) of each flight advance to the final day. When a flight reaches that percentage, it ends automatically, and the remaining players move to the final day (chips are carried over). Flights may also end based on level, time, or remaining players. Some flights may not award prizes, while others do. After all flights end, the final day starts as scheduled. You must buy in for each flight; direct entry to the final day is not allowed. You can enter multiple flights in the same tournament, but only your largest chip stack carries over if you qualify more than once.

2. What is a satellite tournament?

A satellite tournament is a tournament where you can win entry to a major tournament for a small buy-in. The entry fee is usually 10-20% of the major tournament. Multiple entries may be awarded depending on the number of participants. Example: In an $11 ($10+$1) satellite, one ticket to a $110 ($100+$10) tournament is awarded for every 11 players. Some satellites award generic tickets that can be used for any tournament with the same buy-in, not just a specific tournament.

3. What is a guaranteed tournament?

A guaranteed tournament is a tournament where a certain prize pool is guaranteed regardless of the number of players. If there are more players, the prize pool increases, but it will not fall below the guaranteed minimum. Example: In a $55 ($50+$5) tournament with a $2,000 guarantee, even with 22 players, $2,000 is paid out. With 63 players, $3,150 (63×$50) is paid out.

4. How do I use tournament tickets in my backpack?

To use a ticket, select a tournament with the same value as your ticket from the 'Tournaments' tab in the lobby and register.

5. Which hands are eligible for the cash game jackpot?

Each jackpot table displays the prize for each qualifying hand. Players must use both hole cards and have a winning hand to qualify for the cumulative jackpot.

Fairness and Security

1. What is WPT Global's fairness algorithm?

Our fairness algorithm is designed to ensure that all players have an equal chance of winning and to enhance the player experience. By limiting the number of skilled players at each table, we provide new players with a fair chance of winning. You will never be seated with eight pros at the same table and will mainly play against others of similar skill. Even for pros, limiting the number of other pros provides a better experience. Whether you are a new, recreational, or professional player, you will find your preferred game in one of the largest cash game player pools.

2. How does WPT Global ensure safety and reliability?

Our team consists of over 50 industry experts and former professional poker players. We use AI detection tools to monitor for bots, RTAs, collusion, and multi-accounting 24/7/365. Every security case is reviewed independently by at least two team members to ensure accurate and objective conclusions.

WPT Global Game Rules

2. What is the maximum bet for casino games?

The maximum bet varies by game. Please check the help page for each game for details.

3. What is player return (RTP)?
