Leo Wolpert comes from Fairfax, Virginia, Unted States. Like most of the poker players, he also has dreamed to play professionaly. Although Leo Wolpert does not have any victories in his former career, poker has become his way life – a life, filled with breath taking and strenuous moments – everything an adventurer could need.
Wolpert was a self-respected college student and a teacher’s assistant only a few years ago. Leo Wolpert has had more than 8 winnings including 2 cashes in this year’s tournament World Series of Poker. Leo’s biggest achievement was at an online event for $31,000. He also got the 3rd place in the $5,000 NL Shootout WSOP tournament #11 for $187,000.
Leo Wolpert goes on with the game while the other players decide to do a 3-way chop for $300,000, competing for the prize and the WSOP bracelet.
Leo is not disappointed with the fact that he could not reach to the desired bracelet. His own words say is: “Money means more to me than a bracelet. Since I’m a professional poker player, money is all that matters to me.”
Leo Wolpert’s most recent prize is from the 54th Event – World Championship No-Limit Hold’em and it was worth $28,950. Leo Wolpert has reached the rank of 200 in 2008 with the presumption that it would be improved in the near future. He stepped into the poker world only a few years ago, so a result like his is far from disappointing. His first participation in a poker event was back in November, 2006 and so far he has a total amount of live tournament prizes that exceeds $250,000.
