Harman won her first
World Series of Poker bracelet in
2000 at the No Limit
Deuce to Seven Lowball Event (at a final table that also included fellow professionals
Lyle Berman and
Steve Zolotow). She had never played that game prior to the event, but received a five-minute tutoring session from
Howard Lederer before playing. She won her second WSOP bracelet in
2002 at the $5,000 Limit
Texas hold 'em event (the field also included
Mimi Tran,
Humberto Brenes, and
Allen Cunningham). She was the first woman to hold two bracelets in WSOP open events, joined by
Vanessa Selbst in 2012,
Loni Harwood in 2015, and
Kristen Bicknell in 2020. In 2004, Harman took a year away from poker to have her second
kidney transplant. Problems with her
kidneys – shared by her sister and mother, who died from the same illness when Harman was 17 – had plagued her since her childhood. Since her return to the poker tournament circuit, Harman has finished 4th at the
World Poker Tour Five-Diamond World Poker Classic, 5th in the inaugural
Professional Poker Tour event, and 2nd in the WSOP Circuit Championship Event at the Rio. Harman authored the
limit hold'em chapter for
Super System II. Harman is the only woman who is a regular player in the "
Big Game" at
Bobby's Room, the high-stakes cash game at the
Bellagio. She was also an active participant in "The Corporation", a group of high-stakes poker players who played
Andy Beal for limits of up to $100,000/$200,000. In 2007, Harman finished as runner-up in the inaugural
World Series of Poker Europe, where she lost in the
HORSE event to
Thomas Bihl. Harman was also a member of "Team Full Tilt" at
Full Tilt Poker. As of 2021, her total live tournament winnings exceed $2,700,000. $1,502,859 of her total winnings have come from cashes at the WSOP. Harman starred in the
American reality television series Sin City Rules on
TLC. She also appeared in the 2007
Warner Bros. film
Lucky You. In 2015, she was inducted into the
Poker Hall of Fame. ==World Series of Poker Bracelets==
