Shout Out to the Vicksburg FD

Greg James
Greg James

Vicksburg resident Greg James is enjoying himself in Flight D. He took a beat with pocket queens to come up short of a bag in Flight B, but James is taking it in stride today. In a hand, he carries himself like a true grinder: focused, measured, and stoic. But engage him in conversation, he's all smiles.

James is an 8-year veteran of the Vicksburg Fire Department and has been a medic for five. Married with six children, he divides his time between family, community service, and competition on the felt. The latter has added $95,121 to his bankroll via live tournament winnings.
