After years of proving herself as both a poker player and presenter, in 2016, Kara became an 888poker Ambassador. In 2019, Kara partnered with 888poker to launch The Heart of Poker Podcast. Kara moved from Canada to the United Kingdom in 1999 and has been involved in the poker industry since the mid 2000's. She satiated her thirst for all things poker by writing a regular column for industry magazines while sharpening her personal poker skills. She pocketed her biggest single win in 2009 for a respectable $413,612 after finishing runner-up in the long-running Irish Poker Open. Another notable achievement came in the 2008 WSOP Main Event when she placed 104th out of 6,844 entrants. She hosted the very first live poker internet show called Poker Night Live in the mid-2000’s, but her name became synonymous with the poker scene in 2010 when she co-hosted GSN's High Stakes Poker series. That job led to her joining ESPN's coverage team for the 2011 WSOP Main Event.

The Austin, Texas native is no stranger to the world of online poker. Jon made a name for himself during the original online poker boom of the 2000s under the nickname ‘apestyles.’ Just ask anyone who played online back in the day, and they’ll tell you all about his inimitable playing style. Jon started playing poker around the time fellow ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker conquered the WSOP Main Event in 2003. In those days, Jon mostly played for fun with his fellow Texas Tech students. After quickly growing a modest $3,000 to a respectable $70,000 bankroll, Van Fleet bet he could go pro. And with more than $4 Million in multi-table tournament profits to date and close to $17 Million in total lifetime cashes, it’s pretty clear ‘apestyles’ wagered correctly. With a poker career spanning close to two decades, Jon’s accomplishments are lengthy. Yet his most notable accomplishment was becoming the first-ever Partypoker Millions Champion. He walked away with $1,027,000 after crushing the $5 Million GTD online tournament back in 2017. Yet Van Fleet’s biography is by no means a sob story. Rather, it’s an inspirational tale about facing obstacles head-on, defying the odds, and overcoming adversity. With the help of his friends, the poker pro sought treatment. He now leads a healthy life that involves training, teaching, volunteering and playing poker. Van Fleet is also an accomplished writer and coach, having co-authored Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand at a Time. The popular three-volume book series has been called a masterclass in poker skill development. He also hosts online seminars on the game.
