Jones is best known as the former online room manager for PokerStars, a position he held from 2003. He moved over to full-time work with the European Poker Tour last spring, and had been the lead broadcaster on the EPT webcasts His new position at Cardrunners will see Jones will be involved in operational and business matters, including a review of the company and its services.
