Jennifer Harman: One of the Best Woman Players in Poker

Jennifer Harman's story is one of the most interesting when it comes to women in poker. Believe it or not, she was already playing poker at the very fragile age of 8. Not only that, those poker games that she was playing during those days already involved money. What a great way to start a career in poker. She later developed into one of the most dominant players in the game.

Harman's fame never affected her style of play. Up until now, she still plays poker confidently just like she was before. Her rich background in the game gave her a major advantage over her opponents. Her professional career in poker started in the 1980s. Since then, she took the world of poker by storm.

Harman already has been in the final tables of the World Series of Poker several times. She is also a very proud owner of a couple of World Series of Poker gold bracelets. She won one of them in a Deuce-to-Seven Lowball poker event in 2000 and the other in a Limit Hold'em event in 2002.

Harman has also done something besides playing poker. She contributed partly to the book "Super-System 2," written by another professional poker player Doyle Brunson. She wrote the entire section on the Limit Hold'em poker variant. According to Harman, she finds Daniel Negreanu and Doyle Bronson worthy of her respect and admiration.

The highlights of Harman's poker career include a first place finish at the Lowball event of the World Series of Poker in May 2000. In this victory, she took home a glittering $146,000. She brought out all her guns to earn this game. After a couple of years, she added another milestone in her career with another first place finish at the World Series of Poker 2002. This time, she emerged victorious in the $5,000 buy-in Limit Hold'em event. She took home a grand prize of $221,000.

Harman's career made another good turn in December 2004 when she dominated the No Limit Hold'em event of the World Poker Tour at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada. She almost took the grand prize of the event, finishing only at fourth place. She took home a pretty high prize of $299,000.

Another major highlight in the career of Harman came in March 2005. During this time, she won second place in another installment of the World Series of Poker. This pretty good performance cemented her spot, not only among the best women in poker, but among all the best professional poker players worldwide.
