J.B. Wells

J.B. Wells is a 53-year-old poker player based in Raleigh, North Carolina, with over two decades of experience in the game. After playing poker for 20 years, he shifted his primary focus to tournament play in July 2025, quickly finding momentum and consistency on the circuit.

A father of five, J.B. credits a more flexible family schedule—now that his most activity-heavy kids are out of the nest—with allowing him to commit fully to a tournament grind. Married to his wife Sharla, he capped off the final six months of 2025 with over $320,000 in tournament cashes, marking a strong new chapter in his poker career.
