Dr. Jay Martens is a doctor from Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. A general practitioner, Dr. Jay splits his time between psychiatry and family medicine. He's also an adventurous amateur poker player, who qualified for the Season 3 Bay 101 via an $8 satellite. The Bay 101 was actually his first time playing in a brick and mortar card room. Feeling the need for a good nickname, he was dubbed "the Statue" by friends just days before the tourney, and he created the character to go with it. Those eleven years of post-graduate education have finally paid dividends.
