Jeff Gross tapped to be newest CardsChat ambassador

Poker forum and news outlet CardsChat first launched in 2004. As forums go, it has done better than many and recently celebrated its 250,000th member. The traffic explosion has caused the site to call on one of its ambassadors, poker pro and WSOP bracelet winner Ryan LaPlante, to lend a hand in the forums and to assist players in improving their games. He’s about to get a little help himself, though, as Jeff Gross has now been recruited as the site’s latest ambassador.

Gross is a well-known figure at both the live and the virtual felt. The 32-year-old has earned over $3.18 million at live tournaments, including a substantial $414,770 – his largest prize so far – that he picked up for taking third place in the $100,000 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open High Roller in 2013.

Adding to his bank, Gross has also accumulated an additional $1.38 million playing in online tournaments, mostly at PokerStars. He has several top finishes, including a second-place win at the Winning Poker Million Dollar Sunday in 2016, for which he earned $119,628, and another second-place finish for $131,000 from the $530 NLHE WCOOP event last year.

When he’s not winning at poker, he’s talking about poker. Gross is a regular Twitch streamer, sharing a number of his online performances. So far, he has 337 videos available through his account.
