Poker Bio

Steve "gboro780" Gross became a PocketFiver in April 2005, and would go on to become the #1 ranked online tournament player in the world.

Steve's poker story began while he was pursuing his management degree at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. Following several $50 deposits and a 2nd place finish in a PartyPoker Step tournament for $2,500, "gboro780" quickly branched out to Pacific Poker where he was immediately successful. He then moved part of his winnings over to PokerStars where he was competing in $10-$20 MTTs and taking the occasional shot in higher buy-in events. His first significant score came in September, 2005 in a $100 NLHE freezeout versus high stakes sit & go regular "moledaddy," in which he won the tournament for $7,600.

Steve's forum contributions on PocketFives are among the most popular and are especially frequented by up-and-coming players looking for insight into the life of a top-ranked high stakes tournament specialist.
