39-year old Jeff Tebben has a home game in Kansas City where his good friend Grant Hinkle plays. In 2008, Grant Hinkle won a WSOP gold bracelet, and encouraged Jeff Tebben to try it out. Eventually, two tries in 2009 didn't make it, and this third time was the charm for Jeff Tebben, who now owns a WSOP gold bracelet and half a million in cash for the win, which he says he'll use to pay off the house and buy his wife a new car.
