Jason first came to attention at the PokerStars.com EPT Season 4 event in San Remo in April. It was only his second live event (he’d qualified online with PokerStars) but – despite facing one of the toughest final tables in EPT history - he secured a stunning victory worth €869,000. His opposition included Team PokerStars Pro Dario Minieri, William Thorson and Eric Koskas. He followed this up with three WSOP cashes in the summer, then three weeks ago he came sixth at EPT Barcelona for €227,800 . Last week he took eight place at the WSOP Europe Pot Limit Omaha event for another £26,800. Outside of poker, Jason – who had studied to be a maths teacher before discovering online poker - is a huge basketball fan.
