Player Profile - Veritaz

My name is Jacob Gillis and I have been a professional poker player for five years.

I cut my teeth playing on Prima Poker and had numerous mtt wins there. In addition, I have played more than 15,000 SnGs online.

Lately, I have been focusing my efforts on playing tournaments on Full Tilt. My largest online score to date came in October when I won a $50 doublestack on FTP for $7,058. Most recently, I took 2nd in a $20 rebuy on FTP for $6,115 in late November. Additionally, I won a $75 doublestack on FTP for $5,572 in October. I also won the same $75 mtt for $5,330 in May. I finished 2009 ranked 508th on Full Tilt Poker on Official Poker Rankings.com.

I don't play nearly as often on Poker Stars but I did have two mtt wins on there last year. I won a $22 rebuy for $5,218 on December 1st and I won a $50 1R1A turbo mtt for $4,050 on July 10th.

I have had success in live poker also. In 2008 I played three WPT events and made two final tables. In April I took 2nd in the 2008 Five-Star World Poker Classic Event 5 for $70,000 ($2,000 buyin). Then in November I took 4th for $25,000 in the 2008 World Poker Finals Event 13 ($2,000 buyin).
