JENNIFER HARMAN BIOGRAPHY In 1972, when she was only 8 years, Jennifer Harman started playing the game of poker. Harman was born in LV, Nevada on November 29, 1964. In the modern world of poker, she is counted amongst one of the talented players of the game.
Since she started playing the game at such an age, she mastered the art to defeat her opponents. She had the opportunity to sharpen her skills on her own and come out with an altogether unique mindset. Jennifer Harman won her first WSOP Bracelet in 2009 in Deuce to Seven Low Limit game. Her second one came shortly thereafter when she won a USD 5,000 Limit Hold’em Poker event in 2002. Winning two WSOP bracelets in Open events is a feat that has not been achieved by any other woman apart from Jennifer.
In 2004, Jennifer took a break from the game for getting her kidney transplant done for the second time. She had to take the step, as she saw her mother and
sister dying of the same disease when she was only 17. After her transplant, she founded CODA (Creating Organ Donation Awareness). It was a non-profit organization established for raising money for the cause and even increasing its awareness amongst the mass.
Since she made a return from a successful surgery, Jennifer Harman has finished fourth in Diamond
World Poker Tour Classic, fifth in Professional Poker Tour Event and Second in a WSOP Event in
The Rio Las Vegas
Hotel & Casino.
Jenifer Harman is counted amongst the best woman players on the planet. She is even the author of a Chapter in Super System II. She is the only player, who makes regular appearances in the high stakes game of
Bellagio, ‘Big Game’, where she competes against some of the best poker professionals of the world. Her overall winnings from Poker Bracelets are almost worth over USD 2.3 million.
Amongst Jennifer's best friends in poker, we note
Daniel Negreanu and
Todd Brunson - some of the big
names in the game!
