Jerney to the Top

Kati Jerney - poker matriarch
Kati Jerney - poker matriarch

If you were a preschooler and you were asked on Day 1 to draw a picture of the Jerney family, you would draw one big Jerney (that would be dad Adam), one slightly smaller one (mum Kati) and two even smaller Jerneys representing sons David and John. And if you were particularly eager to impress your teacher (and also possessed of unusual artistic talent for a preschooler) you might also draw them all around a poker table in Vienna, competing in this year's EPT.

Yes indeed, all four Jerneys started this tournament - but with mixed results. Kati Jerney, who finished 15th at EPT San Remo in 2009, crashed out on Day 1 and was soon followed by son John whose best live result so far was a 12th place finish at the 2006 Grand Prix de Paris. Other son David made Day 2 but busted a level or two back, meaning that dad Adam - fittingly the biggest figure on our preschool art project - is now the only member of the family continuing the Jerney journey into the latter stages of the tournament. He is right now on an almost exactly average 160,000, so there is hope yet that the Jerney family will turn a profit on this tournament.
