Rutgers alum T.J. Jurkiewicz’s journey at the World Series of Poker

Over the summer, our contributor T.J. Jurkiewicz made a significant run in the Tag Team event at the famed World Series of Poker. Out of 976 entries, T.J. and his partner finished in 4th place, splitting winning of $52,390. Did you think he was our in-house gambling expert without having the pedigree to back it up? He is a professional poker player who lives in Las Vegas and is also a 2012 Rutgers graduate with a degree in criminal justice. T.J. is a diehard Rutgers football fan and didn’t miss a home game for almost a decade between 2005-2013.
