Vivek Rajkumar plays online at Full Tilt Poker.

Indian born poker player Vivek Rajkumar moved to America to study and completed a degree in Computer Engineering and Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington. He worked in the computer industry for a year before deciding to take up poker on a full-time basis in 2006.

Vivek quickly built up his reputation and a loyal fan base with five cashes at the 2007 World Series of Poker. These included a 6^th place finish in the $3,000 Limit Hold ‘em event for more than $35K and a 14^th place finish in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold ‘em event for over $45K. That same year, Vivek also placed 13^th in the $15,000 Five Diamond World Poker Classic, taking home more than $57K, as well as winning over $50K in the $9,800 No-Limit Hold ‘em Championship Event at Caesars Palace.

Vivek's success continued in 2008. He started the year with a win in the $2,500 No-Limit Hold 'em event at the L.A. Poker Classic for over $110K and continued with three cashes at the WSOP. He then achieved his biggest and most prestigious win to date, taking 1^st place in the World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open Main Event, walking away with more than $1.4 million. Vivek set a WPT record by needing only 48 hands at the final table to secure his victory. Within just two years of playing professionally, he built up nearly $2 million in tournament earnings.
