A Childhood Dream Comes To Life: Steven Jones Is Creating History!

The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table is set, and it is a truly stacked field. After days of long tiring grind, the top nine have come a long way and will now eye the top position and the $12,100,000 up top.

And mind you, these final nine aren’t just ordinary any more. They have surpassed a record-breaking entry field of over 10,000 to reach the GT, which itself is a dream for many. Talking about the dream, living the grand WSOP dream final tablist, Steven Jones. Coming to the table with the second-highest stack, Jones is seeking his first-ever WSOP bracelet seeker, and to make a name for himself on the biggest stage in poker.

Let’s have a look at Jones’ story.

Who is Steven Jones?

Steven Jones is a 35-year-old American poker player. Besides poker, he is also a real estate broker currently residing in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Jones told PokerNews that the WSOP Main Event had been his childhood dream. “There’s nothing that is going to beat this, I don’t think. This has been a life goal of mine since I was a kid. It really hasn’t sunk in yet all the way but I’m going to try to be present in the moment and enjoy every second,” he said.

He has three titles to his name, including Bally’s Las Vegas Main Event Mania Omaha 8 or Better in 2020, and 2022 Talking Stick Resort Recurring Tournament No Limit Hold’em Tuesday Night and Weekend Tournament in May 2022.

He has amassed a total of $245,346 in live tournament earnings with the best being $57,425.

In fact, whatever he earns at this event will be much more than his total live earnings so far.
