Jennifer Brown, aka The Poker Bitch, is still playing in the WSOP tour, which ends July 17th. She says she is “doing ok, had a bit of a bad run of cards ….. doing much better now, finished in the top 50 last tourney.”

Jennifer may be a bitch at the poker table, but she is certainly not one with PokerMoments. Not only has she given us a second interview below (read here for her first great interview!), she also said she would talk with Frankie Kassella, one of the greatest Omaha players alive, to see if he would be willing to answer a few of my questions.

Suber: Any interesting poker stories?

Jennifer: Yes LOL ……. My friend Frankie Kassella (one of the best Omaha players in the world ) is ranked # 3 right now!! Anyway we were at The WSOP Circuit Event in Tunica in Jan. and he was the FIRST ONE OUT!! of the main event …… the funniest part is it was not the first time ……. it was the THIRD !!!! LOL Bluff Magazine said they may do story about him holding the record for going out first!

Ben Johnson is a top professional poker player. I’ve never met him, but I have friends who know his family.  Anytime the topic of poker would come up in a conversation, they’d tell me about Ben’s poker exploits, how he was fast becoming a poker star. These same friends got me in touch with Ben (thanks C and C), who kindly agreed to our interview, even though he was in the middle of a poker tournament. Enjoy.

Suber: Who is Ben Johnson? Can you give us a little bio, including how and when you got into professional poker?

Ben: I live in Brooklyn, NY, and I grew up in Philadelphia, PA. I’m single, I just turned 30 in January. I’ve been playing poker for eight years, playing professionally for the last 3. I discovered poker when I saw the movie Rounders in 1999 as a senior at Pomona College in Claremont, California. I had played tournament chess growing up to a reasonable but finite degree of success. So I was intrigued when I saw a game (that seemed more glamorous than chess to me) with which I could start fresh.
