Jennifer Harman a Poker Pros Pro
According to Jennifer Harman’s official website she was born and raised in Reno, NV, Jennifer Harman got her start in poker at the tender age of eight. Her father played in a regular home game, and Jennifer watched, fascinated by the play. One night, Jennifer's father asked his daughter to play his seat. He was losing and wanted to see if his daughter could do any better. Indeed, she could. She performed so well that her father would regularly call for her help during tough sessions. When she turned 21, Jennifer Harman started playing full time. She specialized in Limit Hold 'em, and for years she played middle limit games. Slowly she worked her way up, adding enough to her bankroll to play in increasingly high limits. Her ascendancy in poker never stopped. She now plays in the biggest cash game in the world, the $4,000/$8,000 mixed game at the Bellagio that includes such fearsome opponents as Doyle Brunson, Chip Reese, Johnny Chan, and Phil Ivey. Jennifer is among only a handful of players who regularly beat this game, and is thus considered one of the very best players in the world. Jennifer Harman is one of the most recognizable and prominent spokespersons for poker, having appeared on ESPN, Primetime Live, the Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Discovery Channel, and NPR. She is also a contributor to Doyle Brunson’s Super System 2, having written the chapter on Limit Hold 'em. Jennifer Harman won her first World Series of Poker bracelet in 2000 at the No Limit Deuce to Seven Lowball Event (at a final table that also included Lyle Berman and Steve Zolotow). Amazingly she never played the game before the event. She received a quick five minute tutoring session from Howard Lederer before the event on how the game is played and the strategy. She won her second WSOP bracelet in 2002 at the $5K Limit Hold'Em event (the field also included Mimi Tran, Humberto Brenes and Allen Cunningham). She is the only woman to hold two bracelets in WSOP open events. In 2004, Jennifer Harman took a year away from poker to have her second kidney transplant. Problems with her kidneys - shared by her sister and mother, who died from the same illness when Harman was 17 - had plagued her since her childhood. After receiving a second kidney through organ donation, Harman founded CODA - Creating Organ Donation Awareness - a non-profit organization to raise money and awareness for the cause. Since her return to the poker tournament circuit, she has finished 4th at the World Poker Tour Five-Diamond World Poker Classic, 5th in the inaugural Professional Poker Tour event, and 2nd in the WSOP Circuit Championship Event at the Rio.
