}}Valentin Vornicu is a professional poker player, with 12 World Series of Poker circuit rings. He is currently the number one circuit player in the world. Valentin is from Romania and now resides in San Diego, California. Vornicu is the founder of MathLinks, an educational resource company. Before founding MathLinks, he was the previous webmaster of the Art of Problem Solving.[1]

Vornicu has been a fixture on the World Series of Poker Circuit for the last five years and has turned into one of the most successful players in Circuit history. His most notable poker accomplishments include finishing 23rd in $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event Championship, 47th World Series of Poker 2016 ($269,430) and finishing 1st in the WSOP Circuit- $1,675 No Limit Hold'em Main Event in Los Angeles, California, 2015 ($197,110)

Mathematics and education

Valentin Vornicu was a part of the Romanian team for the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO) in 2001 and 2002.[2] In 2002 he earned a bronze medal at the IMO. He graduated at the University of Bucharest in 2006, and got his Master's Degree in Algebra and Number Theory at the same University in 2008.[3] Vornicu also, in 2007, discovered a generalized form of Schur's inequality, usually cited on online forums as "Vornicu-Schur inequality", which he published in a problem-solving book titled Olimpiada de Matematica.[4]

MathLinks.ro and Art of Problem Solving

{{main|Art of Problem Solving}}

In 2002, Vornicu founded an educational resource company known as MathLinks.ro. In 2004, he merged the company with Art of Problem Solving, a company in which he was previously the webmaster. In 2010, he left the company, but is still involved by teaching for the online school.

International Mathematical Olympiad

Vornicu was a 2-time IMO participant, having won a Honorable Mention in 2001, and a Bronze Medal in 2002, but his involvement with the IMO did not stop here. He was Observer A with the Romanian delegation at the IMO 2003 in Japan, Observer B at the IMO 2004 in Greece, a Coordinator at the IMO 2005 in Mexico as well as the IMO 2006 in Slovenia, Observer B at the IMO 2007 in Vietnam and again a Coordinator for the IMO 2008 in Spain. He co-wrote one of the problems used in the IMO 2004 test. Currently, he is tutoring rising students for mathematical olympiads part-time.

MathLinks Summer Program

Vornicu founded the MathLinks Summer Program[5] in 2011. This is a newly created three-week residential summer math program for students ages 12 to 18, based in San Diego, California.
