If you don't follow poker pro and commentator Jamie Kerstetter on Twitter, you probably should. Her tweets @JamieKerstetter are legendary and among the funniest in the industry, so much so that she won "Twitter Personality of the Year" at the 2nd Annual Global Poker Awards earlier this year.
Since 2009, Kerstetter has amassed $682,314 in live tournament earnings, including a career-best $44,937 for finishing 12th in the 2012 WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship Event. An attorney by trade, Kerstetter is well known for her commentary abilities. She's been featured alongside Lon McEachern and Norman Chad during ESPN broadcasts of the World Series of Poker, and currently co-hosts "The Rake" podcast alongside Marle Cordeiro. For several years she was also a co-host of the now-defunct LFG Podcast on PokerNews.
The New Jersey native actually resides in Las Vegas now, and she's on the bracelet grind. She was kind enough to send us a photo of her set up, which is complete with her world-famous pooch Crouton.

When you talk about grinders, one name that constantly pops up is Florida’s David Prociak, who is playing in today’s tournament under the screen name “Twizzlers.”
He has more than $1.2 million in lifetime earnings dating back to 2015, including a career-best $330,912 for finishing runner-up in the 2015 Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open $3,500 Main Event. The following year, he took down the 2016 WSOP Event #60: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better tournament for $156,546 and was also named the Seminole Hardrock 2016 Player of the Year.
Toss in a couple of WSOPC gold ring wins, including a victory in the WSOPC Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Event #7: $1,125 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed earlier this year for $51,400, and Prociak is clearly a forced to be reckoned with.
Prociak, who learned to play the game by watching it on TV, rented an AirBnB in order to grind the online series and was kind enough to send us a photo of him in action.
You can follow him on Twitter @DavidProciakPok.
