reserved.How Jennifer manages to balance poker, charity work and now family — as she and husband Marco have twin boys, and a houseful of pets besides — is beyond even Jennifer. Her poker games do not happen as often and she has had to cut back on her travel and the number of events she plays. But when it comes to fundraising for the Nevada SPCA, she pours her heart and soul out for the humane treatment of animals. Last year at Caesars Palace, Jennifer hosted a live poker tournament to benefit the Nevada SPCA that netted the organization over $130,000.

Women’s Poker Spotlight: Karina Jett Balances Family and Poker
