Jason Newburger

The biggest moment of my poker career was making back to back final tables in the 2006 and 2007 WSOP $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha events.

Name: Jason Newburger AKA "Chicago Kid" Location: Chicago, IL, United States Cashes: 12 Total Winnings: $284,844 ProRank 1 Position: 1542  [ DETAILS ] ProRank 2 Position: 3540 Age: 24 Marital Status: Single Started Playing Poker: Started in the Summer of 2004 Favorite Poker Game: No-Limit Hold Em' Ambition: My ambition is to become one of the best tournament poker players in the world, and to graduate college (thats for mom and dad) Hobbies: I played 4 years of D1 college baseball at Bradley University in Peoria, IL so baseball is one of my biggest hobbies, I love to golf and hang out with my 3 nephews, a 7 year old and twin boys who are 4. Im very interested in the stock market and I always Favorite Movie: Armageddon, Man On Fire, Shade, the old Pink Panther movies (Peter Sellers is hilarious) Favorite Music: Im a big Rascal Flatts fan, i like some hip/hop stuff, all kinds of different music Favorite Place: Vail/Beaver Creek, CO, love skiing in the mountains Favorite Celebrity: Shana Hiatt Poker Players I Respect Most: Phil Ivey, Devilfish Ulliott (He offered up alot of his wisdom in the PLO event I finished 8th in) Daniel Negreanu, Jennifer Harman and obviously Doyle Brunson If I could change anything in the world: Im not very big into politics, so Im sure there are more important things that could be changed, but I would completely get rid of cigarettes because I've known too many people that get cancer from them, and im not sure why the government hasnt done anything about it yet. If I could change anything in the poker world: I would change the starting chip count in the preliminary events of the WSOP. The 10,000 chips is fine for the main event, but i think they should add 1,000 chips to the $1000-$2500 events, so if it was $1000 buy in every player would start with 2000 in chips, $1500 buy-in every player would start with 2500 in chips...etc.
