Jeff Rossiter

Jeff Rossiter was born in Adelaide, Australia, and later based in Melbourne. He began his poker career as an online grinder, which provided him with a strong technical foundation. His first major live breakthrough came in 2011 when he finished 3rd in the Aussie Millions Main Event for AU$700,000 (approximately $697,437), earning him recognition as PokerNetwork's "Young Gun of the Month" in February 2011. This result propelled him onto the international stage.

Rossiter's career is defined by several deep runs in prestigious tournaments. In the 2013 Guandong Asia Millions (GDAM) in Macau, he finished runner-up in the HK$1,000,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event, earning $3,155,887—his largest career cash. He also achieved a 5th-place finish in the 2013 EPT London Main Event for $243,087, and won the 2012 ACOP Macau High Roller event for $286,949. Domestically, he made another deep run in the Aussie Millions Main Event in 2017, finishing 4th for AU$440,000 (approximately $332,301), and also placed 4th in the 2017 event behind winner Shurane Vijayaram, with a final table that included Fedor Holz and Ben Heath.

Rossiter has recorded 9 WSOP cashes totaling $128,465. His best WSOP finish came in 2016, when he placed 10th in the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed event for $24,919. He also cashed in the WSOP Europe Main Event in 2015, finishing 24th for €23,500, and in the WSOP Asia Pacific in 2014, where he placed 5th in the A$5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event for A$27,011. Additional WSOP cashes include a 57th-place finish in the 2015 $3,000 PLO 6-Handed ($5,920) and a 95th-place in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em event ($5,561).

Rossiter famously lived and played in Macau during its peak as a high-stakes poker hub, competing against the world's best in cash games and tournaments. His Asian success includes the 2012 ACOP Macau High Roller win and the 2013 Asia Millions runner-up. He also cashed in the WPT Playground Poker Fall Classic in 2016, finishing 44th for C$9,370. His ability to adapt to the tough lineups in Macau and Europe solidified his reputation as a fearless competitor.

Rossiter is described as a highly aggressive and adaptable player, comfortable in both No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha. His deep experience in Macau's nosebleed games gave him a strong "feel" for the game, allowing him to take high-pressure lines that others might avoid. He is known for his calm, focused demeanor at the table, earning him the nickname "Silent Killer." Despite being technically proficient, his greatest strength lies in reading opponents and making well-timed decisions in complex spots.

After stepping away from the professional poker grind, Rossiter transitioned into software development. He studied at Lighthouse Labs, a coding bootcamp, and worked as a full-stack developer at NetCents Technology, a cryptocurrency payment processor in Vancouver, Canada. He maintains an active GitHub profile with projects in Python, Ruby on Rails, and React, showcasing his technical skills.

With over $6.6 million in live tournament earnings, Rossiter ranks 5th on the Australia All-Time Money List. He remains one of the country's most successful and respected players, known for his longevity and ability to compete at the highest levels across Asia, Europe, and North America. His resume includes multiple final tables in the largest events in Australia and Macau, cementing his place among the poker elite.
