Jason Koshi
In the audience at the ESPN Featured Table are Jason Koshi's parents and his brother. Jason is in Seat 1 with $1,175,000 to start. His parents are Harry and Carol Koshi, who both taught school in the Los Angeles area for nearly 40 years. In fact, Carol taught famous boxer Oscar de la Hoya at Ford Blvd. Elementary School in East L.A. She laughed and said she taught him how to box during recess. Jason's brother David is here as well to support him as well today.

Jason's parents told us that he has his own company with a partner and is a CPA. He must be pretty good with figures then, and his parents laughed at that suggestion and told us "Jason knew his multiplication tables in kindgergarten!"

Jason's parents were away a couple of days ago-- they had to go home to California to take care of Jason's dog Rusty, as Jason didn't want to board him in a kennel.

Jason is engaged to be married and is trying to win a little money to spend on a new house and his upcoming wedding. Best of luck to Jason today and kudos to his family for being so supportive.
