Team Full Tilt’s Jennifer Harman Rides to Second at Inaugural WSOP Europe HORSE Event
Dublin, Ireland
Dublin, Ireland (September 10th, 2007) – Team Full Tilt’s Jennifer Harman reasserted her reputation as one of the world’s premier mixed-game players by battling her way through a field of more than 100 players to claim second-place in the World Series of Poker* Europe’s £2,500 HORSE Event.
The eight-player final table was one of the toughest in recent WSOP history, featuring Team Full Tilt member and five-time bracelet winner Chris Ferguson, Joe Beevers, and Alex Kravchenko, who finished fourth at the WSOP Main Event in July. Harman began the day as the chip leader, but saw her stack fall to just 75,000 at the dinner break. Undeterred, she battled back throughout the evening, and after three hours of three-handed play, found herself facing Thomas Bihl for the title. Heads-up play lasted for more than 100 hands before Harman moved all-in with two pair and was called by Bihl, who made a straight on the river to claim the title.
Harman, who regularly plays mixed games in her hometown of Las Vegas, is the only woman to have won two WSOP bracelets in the WSOP’s open events. Harman’s impressive performance in the HORSE event earned her £40,688 ($82,527) and once again showed why she is widely considered to be one of the world’s top poker players, regardless of gender.
"Jennifer has shown us, once again, that she is one of the best all around poker players, no matter where she is playing" said fellow Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer.
