Jennifer was born August 10, 1983 in Wilmington, Delaware. At the age of 12, Jennifer created her nickname “Jennicide” since she thought it sounded mysterious at the same time being a close resemblance to her name. Jennicide is a well known name on the Internet. Jennifer learned the game of poker playing low limit “sit and go” tournaments and is now recognized for playing some of the highest limits in the game. Jennifer’s live poker accomplishments started when she was invited in July 2005 by GSN to play in their series of televised tournaments “Poker Royale, Battle of the Ages”. The series featured seasoned pros over the age of 60 playing against pro players under 30. She played in 4 televised tournaments which culminated in her winning 3 of the 6 tournaments after beating Dan Harrington and Miami John Cernuto in heads up play at the age of 21. In January of 2006, Jennifer placed in the money during the World Poker Tour Caribbean Adventure tournament. She also had the recognition of being the last female in the tourney out of a field of 724 entrants. Jennifer participated in numerous preliminary tournaments during the 2006 World Series of Poker, where she pocketed some of the prize pool in Event #34, outlasting most of the field of 754 to finish in 18th place. Directly after the series, she played in the 2006 World Poker Tour Legends Tournament where she finished again in the money. The following week, she took 4th place in the Pokerstars Sunday Million for over $45,000. In May of 2010, Jennifer won event #18-L of the Pokerstars SCOOP series. To date, Jennifer has won over $300,000 live and online. The official poker rankings website currently ranks her in the top 1/2 of one percent of tournament poker players on pokerstars! While away from the tables, Jennifer has written several strategy based poker articles which have been published along with her numerous photo shoots being captured by several notable photographers for feature articles in entertainment, men’s and poker publications; Bluff Magazine, Card Player, Inside Edge, Top Pair, Skinnie Magazine, FHM Online and Playboy (May 2008).
