players on the professional circuit. Originally from
Orange, Connecticut, has three degrees: a law degree from
Harvard and two degrees in electrical engineering from
M.I.T. Bloch began playing poker as a hobby on the
weekends while he worked as an engineer. His location of

poker began as a joke after being fired from his job, he
joked to his parents that he could pay the bills on poker
winnings. It turned out he was right, although his poker
career didn’t happen overnight. While he pursued his
law degree, Bloch spent most of his free time gambling.

and game psychology. He took third place in both the
“L.A. Poker Classic” and the “World Poker
