Gary Herbert "The Choirboy" Jones (born 29 October 1972) is a professional poker player from Stafford, Staffordshire, England. He is also a regular commentator on The Poker Channel.
Jones had a 2nd place finish to Jac Arama in his first appearance on Late Night Poker. He went on to finish 5th in the Runners-Up Final (having suffered a bad beat against Marty Wilson) eventually won by Joe Beevers.
At the 2004 World Series of Poker, Jones finished in 17th place. Surprisingly, he never faced eventual winner Greg Raymer throughout the entire tournament.
Jones considers pot limit Omaha to be his best game.
As of 2006, his total live tournament winnings exceed $500,000.
He plays online poker at PokerStars under the username "p10ker" and at PartyPoker as "MyimaTsarong." He also won $27,000 in the World Championship of Online Poker.
