Seat 6: Rhys "floppinhell" Jones, 25, Portsmouth, UK, PokerStars qualifier
Rhys Jones is a professional poker player from Portsmouth in the UK who splits his time between playing live tournaments and online MTTs, with much success in both fields.
Jones’ biggest cash in the live field to date was for $85,131, for a third place finish at the 2014 WSOP in Vegas. Since 2011, he has made 10 $20k+ cashes in live tournaments and is no doubt a feared player online as well. His largest online score came in 2014, coincidentally just two months after his largest live win. Jones beat a field of 76 players in a $2,100 FTOPS event on Full Tilt, earning himself over $93k in the process. Jones has a whopping 84 tournament wins documented online, with over $3,500,000 in earnings.
Jones, who got engaged to girlfriend Kristy a month ago, is currently ranked 148th on the all England all-time money list with $618,390 in live winnings to date. He won his seat for EPT Dublin on PokerStars in a €215 NL satellite last month.
Fun fact: Jones was once a competitor on The Weakest Link, a popular TV game show in the UK.
