Seat 2: Nick Schulman, New York City, NY, USA – 4,390,000
With nearly $17 million in live tournament winnings, Nick Schulman is arguably the most experienced player on the final table. Schulman is used to playing not only big buy-in tournaments but also high-stakes cash games in Las Vegas.
Formerly a pool player, the 39-year-old first came into the poker spotlight when he conquered the WPT Finals event for $2,167,500. That result from November 2005 remains Schulman’s top score, but he’s still one of the most dominant and versatile players in the world.
He boasts four WSOP bracelets from three games: No-Limit 2-7 Draw, Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, and Seven-Card Stud. Moreover, he has a complex experience with live-streamed tables, being a successful player as well as expert commentator.
