Jason Koon

As one of the all-time great poker players, Jason Koon needs little introduction, not when he’s amassed an incredible $58,000,000 in live tournament winnings.

Born in West Virginia, Jason went to West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon and graduated with a master’s in Business Administration and Finance. It was during his time at college that he started to study poker.

It didn’t take him long to make his mark on the felt – by 2009, he won a Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) tournament to take home more than $300,000 in prize money.

Among Jason’s other career highlights, both online and in live tournaments, are victories in the Super Tuesday, Sunday 500 and Sunday Warm-Up events, as well as his first World Series of Poker bracelet in 2021.

Of course, Jason is revered as a high stakes poker legend thanks to his formidable record in High Roller competitions. Plenty of people will remember the epic moment he walked away with $1,650,300 after winning the Super High Roller at the 2017 PokerStars Championship.

Today, Jason has returned to the fold as a PokerStars Team Pro after initially beginning his journey at PokerStars. Speaking of his return, he said: “I started my poker journey playing at PokerStars and it’s always had a special place in my heart. I’m looking forward to bringing the PokerStars experience to players here in the US and across the world.”

Jason plays online poker exclusively on PokerStars, where he plays under the username ‘JasonKoon85’ in Michigan and New Jersey and ‘JasonKoon1’ in Pennsylvania.
