Leo Wolpert of Fairfax, Virginia is back at the World Series of Poker again this summer, one of many familiar faces among the thousands battling for bracelets.
The former law school student, quiz bowl player, and Jeopardy! contestant has amassed nearly $1.5 million in tournament cashes over the last decade and has consistently performed well at the WSOP where he’s earned nearly two dozen cashes including one bracelet in the $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold’em event in 2009.
Wolpert has already cashed a couple of times this summer at the WSOP, including final tabling Event #4: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em Shootout where he finished ninth.
