The poker professional, GG MILLION$ presenter and super-investor takes on our teasers.
Each week, we speak to a new member of the poker community in a bid to find out more about them and reveal the person behind the player. Drawing back the curtain this week is the popular poker professional, Twitch streamer and presenter, Jeff Gross.
As well as being Phil Hellmuth’s biggest co-investor, Gross is a family man and father of two. Will our 15 posers prove too much for his sleep deprived mind or can Gross get on the right side of the deck and double through our devilish questions? It’s about time we found out!
