Cowboy Kenna James
Cowboy Kenna James
Kenna James is easy to spot in the poker room. He's the guy with the cowboy hat and a big smile. Also known as Cowboy Kenna James, he's won close to $3 million on the tournament circuit. He has cashed 12 times at the WSOP. He almost won a WPT event at the Legends of Poker, but lost to Alex Kahaner heads up on a wicked bad beat. He won an event at the LA Poker Classic and final tabled the Aussie Millions in 2006.

James is married to Marsha Waggoner. Before he turned pro, he spent a few years as a prop player in Southern California. He was also a tournament director and organizer. He helped set up the first ever tournament in Russia at the Cosmos Casino Hotel in Moscow.

What most people don't know is that Kenna James has a big heart. He donates a percentage of his winnings to charity. He works with several charities including The Wounded Warrior Project and the Screaming Eagle Poker League. In 2006, he raised $70,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project by hosting a charity tournament.

James took a hit early on, but he still has chips.
