Biography

Jesse Lonis is an American poker player with over $11.4 million in career earnings as of October 2024.

A former construction worker from New York, Lonis burst onto the tournament scene in the 2020s and made a deep run in the 2021 WSOP Main Event, finishing 25th for $241,800. The next year, Lonis won his first WSOP bracelet in an online event that netted him $73,371.

The Main Event run was a sign of things to come for young Lonis as he finished 209th in the 2023 Main Event for $58,500 and 176th in the 2024 Main Event for $60,000.

Lonis has also found tremendous success at poker's highest buy-ins. In 2023, he won his second WSOP bracelet and a career-best $2.3 million in the WSOP $50,000 PLO Super High Roller. The next year, he finished runner-up in a No-Limit Hold'em offering of the $50,000 event for $1.3 million.

The rising poker star has also had success on other tours. He took down a 2023 NAPT Super High Roller for $174,550 and finished third in the 2024 WSOP Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship for $410,000.

The same year, Lonis made his first poker trip to Europe and finished fourth in an EPT Barcelona €100,000 Super High Roller for $506,276.
