Jeremy Ausmus committed to life as a professional poker player 17 years ago, making the move to Las Vegas to follow his dream in 2005. The majority of the intervening time was spent as a cash game specialist, whose dalliances in the tournament scene resulted in a few major paydays, including the $2.1 million score he secured as the fifth-place finisher in the 2012 World Series of Poker main event.
The 42-year-old married father of two has since shifted his focus to the local Las Vegas tournament scene in recent years and has been quite successful doing so. 2019 saw him place 17th in the year-end Card Player Player of the Year standings. He backed that up with a 26th-place showing in 2021, after the live tournament scene was shut down for the vast majority of 2020.
Ausmus’ post-shutdown success mostly came in the final few months of last year, with six final-table finishes and three titles won in the final quarter. Those victories included two of Ausmus’ three career WSOP gold bracelets.

From the start of last September through the end of March, he has cashed for more than $3.4 million dollars across 33 in-the-money finishes, bringing his lifetime total to more than $11.9 million.
