Jamie Kerstetter is a local player gone good. A member of the all female poker player group "The Grindettes", the New Jersey native is here today taking part in the poker festivities. The former attorney has an impressive poker resume that includes $520,360 in confirmed online tournament winnings and $373,379 in reported live winnings. This includes a 12th place finish at the WPT Borgata Poker Open in 2012.
She finds herself at the same table as her roomie, Patricia Haggerty. Usually the odds against that happening are pretty slim but as Kerstetter explained "they go up when you late reg together." Jamie had been living in Mexico in order to play online poker but since she signed a sponsorship deal with Party Poker has been back representing the site here in New Jersey and the United States. "It's going good," she said, a smile on her face as she plays the game she loves.
