Waterman became a chess master by the age of 16. In addition to chess, he has played backgammon competitively.[2]
In 2007, Waterman appeared in the Fox Sports Net poker tournament Poker Dome Challenge. Waterman won his preliminary and semi-final matches, earning a seat at the $1 million final table.[3][4][5] He lost in heads-up play when his all in call with 10-7 suited failed to improve against his opponent's pocket nines.
In addition to his success at the tables, Waterman also writes articles for such outlets as Pokernews.com.[6] A Buddhist, Waterman has also written several books on spirituality and teaches meditation. His spiritual side has earned him the nickname "Swami" at the tables.
