Background:

• Jeremy began playing poker in early 2004, one year after the “boom” of poker began when a “nobody” named Chris Moneymaker won the World Series Main Event (for $2.5 million) after he qualified in a $86 online “satellite” tournament. However, Jeremy had already committed to joining the Navy around this time and left in April 2005 to pursue that calling.
• One of Jeremy’s dreams has always been to play in the World Series Main Event Championship in Las Vegas, NV. In the summer of 2007, based on timing and available funds, he did spend 3 weeks in Las Vegas, funding the entire trip with poker winnings, and he did enter in (and “cash”) in the only WSOP tournament he has ever played.
