Jeff Shulman (born February 18, 1975) is the editor of Card Player Magazine, and an Americanpoker player with a record of success in tournament play, based in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the son of Jan Shulman and Barry Shulman. Shulman's father, Barry, is an accomplished poker player and CEO of Card Player.[1]
Shulman was a member of the 2009 November Nine. Since Harrah's Casino has partnered with Cardplayer Magazine's competitor, Bluff Magazine, Shulman is reported to loathe Harrah's Casino. He reportedly said that if he were to win the WSOP Main Event, he would throw away the bracelet.[8][9] An article on the Cardplayer website indicates that Shulman's disdain for Harrah's Casino does not stem from their partnership with Bluff Magazine:
My comments have nothing to do with that, and everything to do with my disappointment in how the World Series is run. It used to be run by people who loved and really cared about poker, and had the players in mind, first and foremost. That mission's been derailed by a few executives who now head the Series.[10]
After qualifying for the 2009 WSOP Main Event final table, Shulman hired Phil Hellmuth as his poker coach.[11] At the final table, Shulman was eliminated in fifth place, cashing for just under $2 million, which is his highest tournament cash to date.[12]
As of January 2024, Shulman's total live tournament winnings is over $3,500,000. The majority of which comes from cashing in the WSOP (over $2.500,000 ) [13]
Shulman has one brother, Michael Shulman, an American writer and owner of the online magazine ShulmanSays. Shulman is married to Christy Devine. They have two children.
