Jason DeWitt is an elite American poker professional who has made a career out of beating some of the biggest tournament fields in the history of the game. Originally from South Bend, Indiana, and later based in San Diego and Georgia, DeWitt is known for being a “pro’s pro” who stays incredibly calm even when millions of dollars are on the line. While many players dream of winning just one world title, Jason has managed to do it twice, including a massive victory in the famous Millionaire Maker. With a quiet confidence and a sharp mind for the math of the game, he has built a multimillion dollar career by staying focused and letting his results do the talking.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
According to The Hendon Mob, Jason DeWitt has total live earnings of over $3.3 million. He reached the absolute top of the poker world in 2016 when he won the $1,500 Millionaire Maker at the WSOP . He outlasted a giant field of 7,190 players to win his second gold bracelet and a career-best $1,065,403.
This wasn’t his first time in the winner’s circle. DeWitt won his first bracelet back in 2010 in a $5,000 No Limit Hold’em event, where he earned $818,959. He has also been a regular threat on the WPT , once leading the field at the L.A. Poker Classic.
Biography & Poker Background
Jason DeWitt was born in 1983 and grew up in South Bend, Indiana. Like many of the best players of his generation, he started playing online poker in his early 20s and quickly realized he had a special talent for it. He eventually moved to San Diego to pursue the game professionally and became part of a highly skilled group of young pros. DeWitt is known for being very soft-spoken and humble, famously stating after his million-dollar win that “nothing’s going to change” and that he didn’t even plan on buying a new car. He values his lifestyle and the freedom poker provides, often taking breaks to enjoy life before returning to the grind. His ability to stay grounded despite winning seven-figure prizes has made him a well-liked figure among his peers.
Play Style & Strategy
DeWitt is known for a patient and technical style of play. He is a master of navigating “large field” tournaments where the strategy changes significantly as the field gets smaller. He is particularly good at managing risk, a skill that helped him stay relaxed during the high-pressure final table of the Millionaire Maker. While he is an expert in No Limit Hold’em, he has also shown great skill in Pot Limit Omaha, finishing in the top ten of the $10,000 PLO Championship. His strategy relies on solid fundamentals and a deep understanding of tournament math, allowing him to make the right moves even when the blinds are high and the pressure is on. He often credits his success to simply “getting a lot of cards” and making fewer mistakes than his opponents.
