Biography & Poker Background
Born in 1992 in Illinois and currently residing in Scottsdale, Arizona , Jordan Griff represents the quintessential “Moneymaker” dream of the modern era. A graduate of Arizona State University with a degree in Supply Chain Management, Griff spent years balancing his passion for poker with a successful career as a Supply Chain Lead at Meta.

Play Style & Strategy
Griff is renowned for an “aggressive, fearless, and high-pressure” play style. During the 2024 WSOP, he famously utilized massive over-bets and high-frequency aggression to put professional opponents in uncomfortable spots for their entire stacks. Strategically, Griff relies on a blend of technical study and emotional intuition; he is particularly adept at reading table dynamics and identifying when an opponent is playing “scared money.” In late 2025 and early 2026, he has expanded his repertoire into Mixed Games and Pot-Limit Omaha, showing a technical depth that extends beyond No-Limit Hold’em. His approach is characterized by a “nothing to lose” mentality, a psychological edge he maintains despite now being one of the most successful tournament players in the world.
