David Stucke is a 33 year old physics professor. In 2007, he won a World Series of Poker bracelet in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em in the first WSOP tournament he ever entered. At the final table, Stucke was all-in against the big stack. Stucke held pocket three's and his opponent held a K-Q. If Stucke had been eliminated on that hand, he would have finished with about $500,000 less than he did. His most crucial hand was with three players remaining. In the big blind he called a small raise with Q♠ 5♠ from Seth Weinger who was in the small blind holding K♥ 10♦. The flop came 9♠ 9♦ 4♠. Weinger led with a continuation bet, Stucke countered by making a large raise with a flush draw in the attempt to take down the pot but after Weinger pushed back with an all-in bet, Stucke was priced into making the call, but then made his draw when the turn brought the 6♠ for the queen high flush and eliminated Weinger in 3rd place. [1] After winning the hand he held a commanding chip lead over Young Cho during heads-up play.
He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, and received advanced degrees from Iowa State University and Pennsylvania State University. He was born in Erie, Pennsylvania and currently lives in Henderson, Nevada.
As of 2007, David Stucke has tournament winning of over $600,000.[2]
