After attending school there for two years, he decided to drop out and pursue his poker career. Jetten currently lives in Toronto, but spends most of the year travelling.[3]

Poker

Jetten played his first live tournament in a city just outside Toronto in 2005. By 2006, Jetten started to utilize his talents on the tournament circuit, finishing 8th at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $2,500 Short Handed No-Limit Hold ‘em event.[4] It was in 2008, however, that Jetten really started to make waves, just missing out on his first bracelet by finishing second to Marty Smyth in the $10,000 World Championship Pot Limit Omaha event at the WSOP to take home over $500,000.[5] He followed that up a few months later with a fourth-place finish at the High Roller event of the European Poker Championships in London for $346,078.[6]

After three cashes in the 2009 World Series of Poker, Jetten started 2010 with a fifth-place result in the Aussie Millions Main Event to add another $300,000 to his bankroll.[7] Later in the year, he returned to the WSOP and reached the final table of the $10,000 Pot Limit Hold ‘em Event, before making a deep run in the Main Event, where he finished in 54th place.[8][9]

In 2018, he won over $2.4 million combined in three tournaments in the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series.[10][11][12] In 2019, he had similar success in the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series, which three cashes almost worth a combined $3.5 million.[13][14][15]

Online Poker

Jetten started playing poker in 2004 when he made two cashes in freeroll tournaments for a combined $75. Over the next year he turned that $75 into a $100 000 bankroll. Since then Jetten has continuously played in online tournaments. He is also a regular high-stakes cash game player.[3]
