Loni Harwood

We’re seeing more of our familiar SHRP faces show up as the afternoon wears on and the field got a little tougher when former WSOP National Champion Loni Harwood took a seat in the game. She’s among the ever-growing group of players pushing us close to the next milestone.

Harwood jumped among the top players in the game and every poker fan knew who she was after the 2013 World Series of Poker. That year she cashed six times with three final tables and earned her first career WSOP bracelet. But Harwood was already a known quantity by most poker players before she set foot in the Rio that summer. She was the owner two WSOP Circuit rings from 2012 and was regularly competing at a high level.

Not to settle with her 2013 score, Harwood won the WSOP National Championship in 2015 for her fourth six-digit score among her $1.9 million in career earnings.
