Matthew Glantz (2-Year member) – Matt, a 39-year old from the Philadelphia area, has been playing poker professionally for about 8 years. After earning a pair of degrees at Temple University, he took a job as a clerk on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, eventually working for several options trading companies and starting his own company. As he became more interested (and more successful) in poker, he and his wife agreed he would play full-time for a year and either return to the Exchange or continue playing. Glantz has been continuously successful since that time and is now a respected high-stakes mixed-game player at the Borgata in Atlantic City and in Las Vegas during the World Series of Poker. He has demonstrated high-stakes versatility by becoming the WSOP’s most consistent performer in big-money mixed-game tournaments. Since 2008, he has made 4 World Series final tables in mixed-game events with buy-ins of $10,000 to $50,000. He also won the European Poker Tour’s London Open High-Roller Event in 2009. He has earned over $3.8 million in tournament poker.
