Jim Meehan is living a dream. He's a semi-retired attorney who has played poker for the last four decades. He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, but he now lives in Minneapolis. Many poker players and fans call him "Minneapolis Jim."

Meehan started playing poker in the 1960s, but the father of four didn't start playing tournaments regularly until the 1990s. He quickly made his mark. He's well-known for his table-talk and is often seen drinking alcohol and holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth while he plays.
