Matthew Kustafik
Editor: dezhoupuke.orgUnited States
Matthew Kustafik is an American poker player with limited documented results. A player with the surname Kustafik cashed in the 2013 Borgata Summer Poker Open Ladies Event, while his LinkedIn profile indicates a career in education as a private tutor in Pennsylvania. Public details about his poker career remain sparse.
Early Life and Career
Matthew Kustafik resides in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and maintains a LinkedIn profile detailing a 25-year career in education. He holds a Bachelor's degree in English from Thomas Edison State University and works as a Wilson Language Certified Teacher, specializing in tutoring students with learning differences. He was a founding member of The Lotus School of Liberal Arts in Ottsville, PA, where he taught from 1998 to 2017. His professional background suggests a focus on human services and education rather than professional poker.
Poker Beginnings
The earliest and only documented poker reference associated with the Kustafik name comes from the 2013 Borgata Summer Poker Open. During Event 6, a $260 + $40 Ladies No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry) tournament, a player listed as Eileen Kustafik (also of Doylestown, PA) finished 8th out of a field of participants. It is unclear whether Eileen is Matthew Kustafik's relative or if the name represents a misattribution in the database, as no other records exist for Matthew Kustafik himself.
Tournament Results
The sole cash result linked to the Kustafik surname is from the Borgata Summer Poker Open 2013:
- Event: $260 + $40 Ladies No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
- Date: Summer 2013
- Finish: 8th Place
- Prize: $545 During the tournament, Eileen Kustafik doubled up when her A7 held against pocket Queens on an A-A-J flop. She was eventually eliminated in 8th place when her Q9 suited lost to J7 offsuit on a river pairing. No other tournament cashes for Matthew or any other Kustafik are found in public databases.
Playing Style and Reputation
No independent analyses or player accounts describe Matthew Kustafik's playing style. The limited data from the 2013 Borgata hand suggests a straightforward, value-oriented approach in a low buy-in ladies event, but this is insufficient to characterize his broader strategy. His presence in the poker community appears to be minimal, with no online forum mentions or media coverage.
Personal Life and Community
Beyond poker, Matthew Kustafik is active on LinkedIn, where he engages with posts about scholarship awards and community education initiatives in Bucks County. He has shown support for women's history month and local scholarship programs, indicating a commitment to educational philanthropy. His teaching career spans over 27 years, and he continues to work as a private tutor in Pennsylvania. No other personal or poker-related anecdotes are publicly available.
