Karina Jett

Karina Jett plays online gambling at Full Tilt Poker.

For Karina Jett, poker is all in the family. Her mother was a successful Seven-Card Stud player who taught her poker strategy, and her husband is fellow Full Tilt Poker pro Chip Jett, one of the world's foremost tournament players. It's no wonder then that Karina has developed into one of the best female players in land based and online casinos.

After moving home after school, Karina ran into a few old poker buddies and soon began playing in local casinos on a weekly basis. Realizing she had natural ability as a poker player, Karina put her talent at the tables to use in order to help support her family.

Like mother, like daughter, Karina started her professional career playing Seven-Card Stud, but soon picked up No-Limit Hold 'em as the game became more popular and tournament prize pools grew in size. Since making the switch, the game has helped enrich Karina's life in many ways, including introducing her to her husband, Chip.

With lifetime tournament winnings of more than $129,000, Karina has booked fourth-place finishes in the 2003 WSOP $1K Ladies Hold 'em Stud tournament and the 2004 WSOP $1K Ladies Limit Hold 'em event. She also made the final table in Poker Royale: Battle of the Sexes, and took part in a history-making finish at The London Open when she and Chip became the first husband and wife to make the final table in a major tournament.

Katja Thater

Katja Thater is a poker player from Hamburg, Germany. She plays gambling online and professional poker and has in recent years acquired a reputation of a poker pro on the European poker circuit. Her introduction to poker happened in 1999 in a way few can imagine. She was required to play a limit poker game on behalf of her husband, in which the stakes were high. She played her cards well and came up trumps in top casinos. She never looked back after that win, going professional, playing in cash games.

When she decided it was time for her to start playing in tournaments, her performance suggested she was naturally inclined towards poker. She displayed impressive poker skills at the 38th Annual World Series of Poker - Ladies, in Event #17, held on June 10, 2007, in the No Limit Hold'em World Championship, finishing 5th place and taking home a purse of $49,151. Although she doesn’t like to restrict herself to ladies’ poker, it was her sponsors who put her name down for the event. And of course she took up the challenge with alacrity. It was no mean feat, up against a tough field of 1,286 women competitors and names like Mary Jones Meyer and Susie Isaacs. But Katja Thater did not lose focus and made it to the final table where she finished fifth.

Katja Thater’s crowning glory would be her win in the male dominated arena of the World Series of Poker, at Event #29 of the of the Razz Seven Card, held on June 17, 2007, at the 38th Annual World Series of Poker. She came 1st and won a well-deserved $132,653 as prize money. This made Katja Thater the first woman to win an open WSOP event in over three years. She also created history by becoming the first woman ever to receive the distinction of being crowned at the Rio in Las Vegas.

Cyndy Violette

Cyndy Violette, a Top Female Poker Champion, is a contradiction in the Poker World. One of the few female poker players to break into the big time, Cyndy is quite unlike the stereotypical casino poker player that comes into most people's mind when they think of the tough, hard nosed ,"No Limit Hold'em" players of the game. She's knows that "Women in Poker" are sometimes referred to as"Poker Babes", and that there will always be some male players that wish the "girls" would "just go away" -- but she doesn't care.

Land based and free online casino poker is her life,and she "Loves Poker and Loves Life." She may come across as a "bubbly little blondie with the big smile and twinkling eyes" - but she can hold her own with the crustiest, shiftiest, and most hardcore of professional poker players. She is a seasoned pro who has been playing poker for most of her life.

Cyndy is one of the few women poker players that was in it long before it became fashionable to do so. She grew up playing cards and has split time between Atlantic City and Las Vegas for many years. She is a bonafide "World Series of Poker"champion bracelet winner, and she did it before the game became "all the rage" the world over.
