Ryan Jones aka @grindonmind

Ryan Jones has earned a reputation as one of the most dangerous tournament players in the WSOP Circuit, combining an adaptive strategy, strong endgame execution, and a track record of closing out big fields. He has amassed more than two million dollars in recorded tournament earnings, highlighted by three Circuit Main Event titles that define his resume. Ryan first broke through with a WSOP Circuit Main Event win at Cherokee in 2015, then added another marquee victory in the WSOP Circuit Rio Main Event in 2017, and later completed the three-title milestone with another major circuit triumph at Cherokee in 2024. Those wins came against large, competitive fields and helped establish him as a player with both consistency and the ability to perform when the pressure is highest. Beyond his titles, Jones has built a long-term tournament record that reflects durability and experience across both live WSOP and circuit events.

Ryan has previously worked as a coach for Chip Leader Coaching. After being a coached by Chance Kornuth and Alex Foxen, he was hired on as coach of a mid-stakes group in the program.
