Jack Sumner (Slum Donkey Poker CEO)

The concept of "teams" or groups in poker have been around for a ling time...and countless players have utilized group discussion as a forum to improve their game.  We were introduced to "Slum Donkey Poker" in one of the first every live blogged events here at the Isle Poker Room, and since then, we've seen great success from members of this group.  One of the most vocal "Slum Donkeys" has been Raminder Singh (Delray Beach, FL), who just took down the $1,675 WSOPC Main Event at Palm Beach Kennel Club.

The man behind the creation of the group is currently seated in the field today, as Jack Sumner looks to bag chips with his second bullet fired into the tournament.  Jack has over $40,000 in live tournament earnings, including a cash of his own during the most recent WSOPC series at Palm Beach Kennel Club (Event 5 $360 No Limit Hold'em Turbo - 14th Place $928).  There's an incredible amount of names followers of the blog would recognize that associate with the group, including the likes of Michelle Shah, Kimberly Jones, Kobi Ribak, Daren Stabinski, Raymond Ruzkowski...just to name a few.  Sumner headlines the first group of notables spotted in this already crowded Flight 1E field:
