She eventually earned her first bracelet at the WSOPE in 2013.
Jackie Glazier Background
Jackie Glazier was born in Melbourne, Australia. She started playing poker rather late, however, her newly discovered talent for the game brought her more money than anything she had done before. She hit the live tournament circuit in 2008 cashing in a couple of local tournaments. Then in 2010, she traveled to Vegas where she cashed in the World Series of Poker Main Event. With almost one million dollars in live tournament cashes, Glazier is now the winningest Australian female poker player and one of the Top 20 Australian poker players overall.
Glazier grew up in her hometown of Melbourne. In her teens, she was training to become a tennis player but had to find a part-time job when she turned fourteen in order to pay for extra lessons. When she was 16, Jackie traveled to the United States and lived with a local family there playing tennis and taking part in American tennis tournaments.
Glazier studied science and mathematics at university for four years and graduated with a teaching degree. She discovered poker when her husband got invited into a home game by his friend. Jackie wanted to play too, but wasn't allowed so she started learning the game on her own. Eventually, she got into her husband's home games and after a while started crashing them. She then decided to take a shot at the casino games.
