Andy Bloch
With two successful degrees from the prestigious MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and a completed law degree from the world renowned Harvard University, Andy Bloch can be either a lawyer or an engineer. In fact, he can be anything he wants to 
be. But he chose to be a poker player. Perhaps it is the prospect of winning millions overnight, or maybe it’s just that the typical nine to five job is a complete turn off to anyone, but Andy Block chose a career in playing cards. He was already hooked on gambling early on, being a popular member of MIT’s blackjack team. Upon learning the ins and outs of how the game of poker works, he was quick to make his mark in the world of poker. He took it seriously, winning three major tournaments and earning more than two million US dollars.
Like most players, Andy’s initial goal for engaging in gambling was to finance his studies. This was the gap between his graduation from MIT and his initial year at Harvard Law School. Obviously, such a prestigious degree doesn’t come cheap, and Andy needed to work his way through school. He paid his way through Harvard by playing heavy blackjack. Of course, this was aside from doing homework, designing computer chips on the side, and practicing with the MIT blackjack team. The big surprise and the main irony here is that in financing his education, he found a new career path altogether! Andy insists that his newfound career in the form of professional poker playing is deeply rooted in mathematics, hence he’s applying what he learned from MIT. He had no intentions of making this a long-term endeavor, but it was just too lucrative to give up. Not everyone is blessed with the skills needed for a victorious poker tournament, so Andy should definitely hold on to it for as long as he can – this is a once in a lifetime experience, after all.
