Although living in Baltimore, Maryland but hailing from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Jeffrey Gross has amazed many people with the fact that he is roommates with Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps.
Attending the University of South Carolina, like many college kids, Gross has taken the game of cards to his liking and has already logged six WSOP cashes - including one earlier in the series.
Having secured over $140,000 in WSOP lifetime earnings, Gross will need a fourth-place or better if he is to improve on his fifth-placing in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em in 2010 where he pocketed $109,621 for that deep run. And having nearly $275,000 in lifetime earning since 2006, Gross will go close to tripling that if he can continue his form of defeating his two shootout tables to take home the gold.
