Jennette "Jay" Tan Renews Deal With Bodog

Jennette "Jay" Tan Renews Deal With BodogBack in April, 2012, Hong Kong’s Jennette “Jay” Tan joined Bodog Poker as one of its glamorous sponsored pros. At that time, rising star of the east Tan had $63,852 in earning to her name since cashing in at her first tournament a year earlier.
Since joining Bodog, the Los Angeles born poker pro has added a further $188,855 to her tally for total career earnings of $252,707, and Bodog has been suitably impressed with her results that she has been given another year’s sponsorship deal.
Commenting on the renewal of her sponsorship deal with Bodog, Jay Tan explained: “Becoming a sponsored player has always been a dream and to do so well in my first year was an unexpected bonus. I feel very at home with Bodog and look forward to carrying on where I left off.”
By far Tan’s biggest success over the past year came in January, 2013, at the Aussie Millions $10,600 Main Event, where she finished 7th from 629 competitors to claim her biggest score to date of $158,355.
Jay Tan had enjoyed a lucrative job at Goldman Sachs before she started using her skills to carve out a successful career at the poker tables, instead. In addition to being a talented poker player, the multi-lingual starlet also has an elegant, attractive look which plays well with Bodog’s marketing style, especially as it continues to try and target Chinese speakers in its Asia-focused Bodog88 poker client.
Commenting on its decision to renew Tan’s contract, Bodog Network President, Jonas Odman, said: “Jay has had a great year and is a natural in front of the camera as well as at the felts. She is an integral part of the ongoing Bodog Poker story which has seen us create the only Network made in Asia with the emerging Asian player in mind. We are thrilled to have her back on board for another year and hope she can light up the WSOP in the same way she did the Aussie Millions.”
