Born on November 29, 1964, in Reno, Nevada, she established herself by winning the World Series of Poker bracelets in open events two times, joining an elite group of women who have achieved this feat.
Harman’s passion for poker began during her childhood and translated into professional success in 2000 when she won her first World Series bracelet at the Deuce to Seven Lowball event. Two years later, she secured her second bracelet at the $5K Limit Texas hold ’em event, making her the first woman to hold two WSOP bracelets. Throughout her career, she has also won over $2.7 million at high stakes games such as the “Big Game” at the Bellagio and “The Corporation”.
Besides live tournaments, Harman has appeared in various poker television programs, including “High Stakes Poker” (2006), “Poker Superstars III” (2006), “Poker After Dark” (2007-2008), and “Poker Night in America” (2016). Her success led to her induction into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2015.
Harman is also involved in philanthropy, organizing poker tournaments with winnings dedicated to charity organizations. She is an active supporter of the Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) and has been an advocate for Creating Organ Donation Awareness, focusing on raising funds for kidney transplant operations.
Despite her professional success, she faced health challenges, including multiple kidney surgeries. In 2004, she took a break from poker due to her second kidney transplant. Harman has been married once and has two children, but is now divorced.
Harman’s achievements and personal struggles have made her a respected figure in the poker community, and her contributions to philanthropy further underline her impact beyond the poker table.
