22-year-old James McManus from Dublin, Ireland was the big winner of PartyPoker.com’s ‘The Grind’ promotion, winning a Mini Cooper S Convertible in the prize draw, a Nintendo Wii when he came sixth at the final table of a Grindroll, and, if this wasn’t enough, less than two months before he won $52,000 on the famous PartyPoker.com Bad Beat Jackpot!!

James recently finished studying Maths at college and intends to work in the finance industry or as a Maths teacher but got a massive boost after winning the equivalent of nearly $100,000 in two months!

“It has been a good couple of months,” said James with great understatement.
