Biography

Jesse Lonis is an American poker player with over $27 million in career earnings as of January 2026. A two-time bracelet winner and three-time Triton champion, Lonis is widely considered one of the most prolific "crushers" of the mid-2020s.

Jesse Lonis Backgorund

Born and raised in Little Falls, New York, Jesse Lonis grew up in an environment where poker was a family pastime. A graduate of Little Falls High School, Lonis initially pursued a career in construction. His poker journey began at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Upstate New York before he transitioned to the high-stakes circuit in the early 2020s.

Now a resident of Las Vegas, he is a dedicated "family man," living with his wife and children while still competing globally.
