Poker Pro’s Good Works Come to Fruition
Diminutive poker pro Jennifer Harman has once again put her love for animals on the table with her second charity poker tournament to benefit the Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The event, which last year raised around $130,000 for the organization, drew other poker professionals such as Chip and Karina Jett, Chau Giang, Matt Savage and the Father of Poker himself, Doyle Brunson. They were on hand recently to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for two new wings for the Nevada SPCA, both made possible due to the tireless efforts of animal lover Jennifer Harman.

- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
