Jeff Gross Joins 888poker at the 2016 WSOP, Excited for the Patched-Up Grind

When Jeff Gross showed up for the fifth starting flight of the 2016 World Series of Poker $565 Colossus II Saturday morning there was something a little different about him: An 888poker patch on his chest.

The man Antonio Esfandiari once famously dubbed poker's "Professional Best Friend," who has $872,755 in earnings from 24 cashes and a handful of final tables at the WSOP, was made a member of the 888poker team before the start of play, and proudly donned the patch straight away.

"It's great," he told PokerNews.
