Todd Brunson primarily prefers to play cash games but has had quite a bit of success in tournaments. Todd’s first big win came at the 1993 Diamond Jim Brady when he won the Main Event title and $198,000. He would then take the $1,500 Limit Holdem event at the Hall of Fame Poker Classic in 1994 for $105,600. It was six years before he would hit his next big score when he would finish 2nd at the Jack Binion World Poker Open in 2000, earning $119,310.

2004 saw Brunson have a very solid year cashing 5 times at the World Series of Poker and twice on the World Poker Tour. He notched his next victory at the Fiesta al Lago that year, winning the $2,000 No Limit Holdem event and over $158,000.

2005 was a big year for players with the last name of Brunson. Doyle Brunson would take his 10th gold bracelet winning the $5,000 Short Handed NL Holdem Event, but first Doyle would have to watch his son go for his first bracelet. Doyle said that while watching his son go for his first bracelet he was more nervous than when he won any of his 10. Doyle would see Todd outlast Allen Kessler heads up and take down his first bracelet in the $2,500 Omaha 8 or Better Event. This would be the crowing achievement for Todd’s 2005 WSOP that saw him make three final table finishes.

Todd would go on to win two Poker Superstars Invitational Tournaments in 2006. These would net him $400,000 per victory. Todd would then cash 6 times in the 2007 World Series of Poker, including his 2nd cash in the WSOP Main Event. 2008 has been a somewhat off year for Brunson tournament wise with him cashing only 5 times in tournaments with no final table appearances. In total, Todd Brunson has made over $3.23 Million in live tournaments.

Todd is a regular player in Bobby’s Room at the Bellagio in Vegas and is considered to be one of the best high stakes players on the planet. He won over $13.5 Million in a two day span as part of “The Corporation.” The Corporation was a group of high stakes players that came together to play Billionaire Andy Beal. Todd also wrote the chapter on Stud 8 or Better in Super System 2.

While Todd Brunson may not have as many bracelets or titles as his legendary father, he is still a champion poker player. Chances are he will never be as great as Doyle, but as his track record has shown, he will still be a dominant force in poker and the Brunson name will still one of the top names in poker long after Doyle has left the game.

Harman started playing poker when she was a little girl. Her father taught her the game and she became so good that there were times her dad would have her play for him when he was down at the tables. Usually she would win back his money for him.

Harman went to college and received a degree in Biology but after college took up playing poker full time in LA. After a while she stepped back from poker to run her own business. The business failed and she actually went back to playing poker to pay off her business debts. For years she grinded it out in middle and high stakes games and nearly lost her entire bankroll. A long from a friend in 1993 allowed her the breathing room needed to get her game off the ground and she has been a winning player since.

Harman mostly stuck with cash games until the mid 1990’s when she started playing in tournaments. She has some mild success, cashing three times at the WSOP and winning a couple of preliminary events around Vegas and Los Angeles, but it wasn’t until 2000 that she would achieve her first big poker tournament score.

Harman won the $5,000 2-7 Lowball Event at the World Series of Poker after just learning the game prior to the event. Two years later she would win her 2nd bracelet in the $5,000 Limit Holdem event. To date, Harman is the only woman to have multiple bracelets in open WSOP events. Barbara Enright and Nani Dollison have more bracelets than Harman, but two of theirs are in women’s only events.

Overall, Harman has become one of the most successful female tournament players in history. She has over $2.2 Million in tournament wins, including numerous WSOP final tables and two WPT final tables.

Outside of her tournament play, Harman is one of the premier cash game players in the world. She is a regular at Bobby’s Room at the Bellagio, regularly playing in “The Big Game.” She was also a part of the group of pros known as “The Corporation” that teamed up to play high stakes poker with Billionaire Andy Beal. Harman is said to have won $9 Million off Beal in a single day.

Outside of poker, Harman authored the Limit Holdem chapter in Super System 2 and is the mother of twins. She is the wife of Marco Traniello and has coached him into becoming a fine poker player.

Jennifer Harman wears many hats in the poker world. She started off as a grinder at the middle limits and worked her way up to become one of the most feared poker players in the world. Male or female, you would be hard pressed to find a poker player tougher than Jennifer Harman.
