Neil Blumenfield first came to the attention of the poker world in the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event. He took 3rd place for a cool $3,398,298. Shortly before that win, he had been laid off from his technology job after his start-up software company was bought out by Intuit. As a result, Neil has been able to focus on poker and a career as a full-time poker player.
