Jarod Minghini’s Biography And Poker Career
A businessman from Snowshoe, West Virginia, he has been playing poker since 2014 and has won five WSOP Circuit rings. He enjoys snowboarding, snowmobiling, surfing, and motocross. During the Main Event, he used two life hacks: he didn’t eat before the dinner break and spent every possible break outside to get fresh air.
It’s likely that during the WSOP Main Event, Jarod Minghini found motivation to play in thoughts of his brother Bobby, who died in a car accident in 2022. Like Jarod, Bobby was a professional snowboarder. In memory of his brother, Jarod founded the nonprofit Bobby Minghini Foundation, which helps fund athletes with potential in the field of snowboarding.
«Bridging the gap from amateur to elite and professional levels athletes can be an extremely expensive transition. The Bobby Minghini Foundation helps athletes that have the potential but lack the funding to progress their careers to the next levels.» reads the foundation’s page.
