Schulman first captured a bracelet in 2009, winning a $10,000 no-limit deuce-to-seven tournament. He repeated that win in 2012, and again in 2025. He also picked up wins in pot-limit Omaha eight-or-better, seven-card stud, and turbo bounty events. His largest career score came from a $25,000 high roller, where he walked away with nearly $1.67 million.<\/p>\n<p>His presence at the table is matched by his reputation in the broadcast booth. Over the years, he became one of the most trusted voices in poker commentary, often working alongside Ali Nejad during PokerGO\u2019s WSOP broadcasts. His mix of insight and dry humor has made him a favorite among fans and players alike.<\/p>\n<p>Schulman\u2019s Hall of Fame nod came ahead of nine other finalists, including names like Phil Galfond, Kathy Liebert, and Mike Matusow. The Poker Hall of Fame rules allow for up to two inductees each year, but only Schulman made the cut in 2025\u2014further highlighting his standing among his peers.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019ve just been around so many great players, and I\u2019ve just kind of seen them all,\u201d Schulman said. \u201cIt\u2019s my favorite game to play.
