Seat 6: Jason "jdtjpoker" Wheeler, 40, United States

Jason Wheeler
Jason Wheeler

Jason Wheeler is a poker veteran who has been around for over a decade. The 40-year-old has racked up nearly $8 million in online tournament winnings and over $3 million in live cashes. Originally rom Chicago, Illinois, the 40-year-old American pro has been a familiar face on the European live poker circuit for almost a decade. Wheeler relocated to Amsterdam years ago, and he's no stranger to Prague either; his girlfriend comes from the Czech capital.

Wheeler's career-best result dates back to 2009 when he fell just shy of winning a WSOP bracelet, finishing second in the $1,500 NL Hold'em event for a sweet $418,122. This is his debut on a PokerStars main tour Main Event final table, with the previous closest attempt coming at the EPT8 Grand Final (18th for €40,000).

Wheeler envisioned his success here in the Main Event as he described at the end of Day 4: "I feel amazing. Last week, I had a dream. I was at the final table of this tournament. This is unusual, I've never dreamt about poker before. I told my dream to my friend Ludovic Geilich and he reached two final tables this week. Now I start thinking that the dream could become true for me."

Prolific on both live and online felt, Wheeler's main forte has been the PokerStars $1,050 Super Tuesday. He conquered the prestigious weekly event four times in his career, using his famous moniker "jdtjpoker". His other accolades from the virtual realm include a WCOOP bracelet as well as a final table in the SCOOP $25k High Roller.
