Jennifer Leigh      

Professional Poker Player

The name "Jennicide" is often recognized, and sometimes feared. Those who don't fear the name probably should. Her beauty and genuine, sweet-hearted demeanor make her an insidious threat to those who let their guard down.

Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh has always craved competition, loved video games and enjoyed blurring the boundaries between activities traditionally considered masculine. Thus, her transition from poker was a natural one.

She started in online poker and booked countless final tables and wins. In September 2006, she killed the multi-table tournaments. Leigh reached the final table of the $200 PokerStars Sunday event and finished fourth out of 5,699 players for more than $45,000. A week later, she took down a $100 buy-in at PokerStars for $5,400. The beautiful 23 year old was on a roll.

The transition to live tournaments was seamless. Her live cashes include 18th in the 2006 World Series of Poker $1,000 no-limit hold 'em event, for $16,832; 42nd at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, for $13,500; and 45th in the recent World Poker Tour Legends of Poker main event, for $15,530.
