Jack Salter was born and resides in London, England. His first recorded live cash came in 2010, with several cashes around Europe over the next few years. He made his first mark at the World Series of Poker in 2013, securing three cashes. Later that year, he finished third in the UKIPT London Main Event, which was his largest cash to that point.

2014 proved to be a breakout year for Salter. In February, he won the A$5,000 Six Max event at the Aussie Millions, beating a 69-player field for A$114,000. At the PokerStars Festival Monte Carlo, he deep-ran the FPS Monte Carlo Main Event (14th for $11,730) and then achieved a career milestone by finishing runner-up in the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event, earning €765,000 ($1,058,315). This performance established him as a formidable tournament competitor. Later that year, he again finished as runner-up, this time in the WSOP Asia Pacific Main Event in Melbourne for A$452,895. These results vaulted him onto the England All Time Money List, where he currently ranks 9th.

Salter's largest single cash came in 2016 when he finished fourth in the $111,111 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller for One Drop at the WSOP, taking home $1,536,666. Later that year, he won a $25,000 Aria High Roller for $412,800. In 2017, he final-tabled the WSOP Europe Main Event, finishing seventh for €129,121, and also won the Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam, a prestigious title. In 2019, he added a WPTDeepStacks title in Montreal and finished fifth in the A$100,000 Challenge at the Aussie Millions for $237,082. Overall, his major tour results include $2.86 million in WSOP earnings (52 cashes, 4 final tables), $1.18 million in EPT earnings, and $215,000 in WPT earnings.

In recent years, Salter has continued to cash in major events. In 2022, he finished 15th in the EPT Barcelona Main Event for €81,450. In 2023, he cashed in the WPT World Championship ($111,300 for 46th) and multiple WSOP events. At the 2024 WSOP Paradise, he placed 62nd in the $25,000 Super Main Event for $110,200. He also competed in online poker under the alias "jackziyang," with notable results including an 11th-place finish in the 2021 GGPoker WSOP Online $200 Flip & Go and a 15th-place finish in the $10,300 Super MILLION$. As of 2026, he continues to play both live and online, with recent WSOP cashes including the $10,000 Main Event (789th).

Salter is recognized for a solid, patient style that emphasizes positional awareness and deep-stack play. He is analytical post-flop and focuses on optimal decision-making. While generally conservative, he can apply aggression during critical phases like the bubble. His technical approach and strong bankroll management have allowed him to sustain a long career at high stakes. He frequently shares strategic insights on social media, building a following among aspiring players. In the poker community, he is regarded as humble and dedicated, rarely involved in controversies, and is respected as one of the prominent figures in British poker.

With over $9.1 million in live earnings from 196 cashes and 12 tournament wins, he stands as one of England's most successful tournament grinders.
