Jesse Chinni is a native of Pompton Plains, New Jersey, but is now a resident of Ellicott City, Maryland. He is 22 years old and has four WSOP cashes in his two years playing, including two this year. Jesse won a monster pot just before play concluded on Day 2 to snatch the chip lead -- and a big one at that. He sits down with a lead of more than a million chips over his closest competitor, and if he can maintain that lead, he will walk away with his first gold bracelet.
