Craig Daniel Jones is a British poker player whose recent performances have earned him recognition on the international poker circuit. Based in England, Jones has accumulated total live tournament earnings of around USD 330,000 and continues to build on his growing list of deep runs across Asia and Europe.

His biggest result came in October 2025 at the APPT Manila Championship Main Event, where he finished in second place from a field of 384 entries to earn PHP 7,405,000, equivalent to about USD 126,000. It marked the largest payday of his career and showcased his ability to handle pressure on one of the region’s biggest stages.

Jones is known for his calm and patient playing style, relying on disciplined decision-making and solid reads rather than aggression. While still in pursuit of his first major live title, his consistent results and runner-up finish in Manila have made him a player to watch among the new wave of UK professionals competing on the Asian tour scene.
