Born on September 22, 1974 as Charles Jett, this poker player didn’t even get to leave the hospital before a nurse adorned him with the nickname of “Chip.” This was a very fortuitous nickname for this highly successful player.
Chip Jett started his poker career as a dealer at a nearby casino who also played poker when he was off. He discovered he was making more money playing poker than he was dealing, and so he decided to play poker full time.
Chip Jett’s first prominent successes came in 2001 at the LA Poker Classic, hosted by the Commerce Casino, where he made several final tables and won the tournament’s best all-around player award. Chip Jett just went on rolling from there placing highly in many more tournaments. In 2003, Chip Jett had 15 final table appearances, including two at the World Series of Poker and two at the World Poker Tour.
Chip Jett is married to fellow poker pro Karina Jett, and the couple has two children. They’re not afraid to mix it up at the poker table either, as they both met at the final table of the 2005 London Open played at Old Billingsgate Market.
Chip writes articles for Card Player Magazine, and Karina joins him in writing a column for the magazine that is done in a he said/she said format. To date, Chip Jett has earned nearly $2 million in tournament winnings. He has also released a deck of cards featuring poker pros in which Chip Jett is the ace of spades.
