Zack Koerper originally grew up in Maryland and has recently moved to Las Vegas. He started playing poker for fun with friends shortly before starting college. During his short stay in college he used poker as a way of helping pay for expenses. Shortly after dropping out of college and being broke he started over on Bodog from a referral bonus he earned which totalled $8. From that $8 he turned it into over $50k on bodog playing MTTs while winning numerous leaderboard prizes.  Since then, he has never deposited again. After playing poker professionally for 5 years including forays into MTTs, NL cash and FL Cash he now finds himself playing Sit n Goes on PokerStars for a living. He finished ranked #1 in the world in 9-man any stakes in 2010 and hopes to build upon that success in future years.
