Jason James is a Canadian professional poker player from Mississauga, Ontario, who plays online under the handle “jadedjason” - a name that belies the enthusiasm and dedication he has brought to a career spanning over 129 live cashes, one WSOP gold bracelet, two Circuit rings, and over $1.69 million in live earnings. A tournament stalwart with a dry wit on social media and genuine depth at the table, James is one of Ontario’s most recognisable live grinders.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With total live tournament earnings surpassing $1,693,196 (according to The Hendon Mob), James has compiled over $1.25 million in WSOP earnings alone across 68 cashes, including a bracelet and two rings.
His standout results include:
- WSOP bracelet win - first career bracelet, contributing to total WSOP earnings of $1,251,467 across 68 cashes and five final tables.
- Two WSOP Circuit rings across his career at various Circuit stops.
- 2024: Deep run in the WSOP Main Event, bagging chips on Day 6 with 15,825,000 and surviving to Day 7, eventually finishing 14th.

Biography & Poker Background
Based in Mississauga, James has built his career through consistent volume at both live and online tables. His social media presence - active and candid on X as @jadedjason - gives a window into a player who takes the game seriously while maintaining perspective about its inherent swings.
His 2024 WSOP Main Event run was particularly noteworthy. He bagged chips on successive days, posted updates from the felt in real time, and made it all the way to Day 7, finishing 14th - agonisingly close to the final table. “14th place ain’t so bad,” he wrote after his elimination. “Ran great to make it that far and appreciative of all the love and support from my family and friends.”
His bracket of bracelet, two rings, and 68 WSOP cashes speaks to genuine expertise at the summer’s biggest stage, and his volume of 129 live cashes overall places him among the harder-working professionals on the Canadian circuit.

Social Media & Online Presence
Originally from the Lake District, UK, I’ve spent the last few years living and breathing the Southeast Asian poker circuit. Since 2025, I’ve been a fixture on the floor at the APT, PokerStars, and WSOP events, serving as a lead reporter and media specialist for Somuchpoker. My work is about more than just recording action; I manage the social media and digital content that brings action rail to the fans. By combining a business education and creative background, I aim to look past the technical hand histories to capture the actual human grit and drama that happens during a deep run.
