It looks like this week is “New Reality Show with Poker Ties Week.” After reporting about the “Living the Life,” the new program in development starring Trishelle Cannatella and Amanda Kimmel, we have another one to talk about. This time, it’s a show on the TLC cable network tentatively titled “Vegas High Rollers.” Among its cast members will be poker pro Jennifer Harman (pictured).

“Vegas High Rollers,” produced by Evolution Media, is a “docu-reality” series – think “Real Housewives,” “American Chopper,” “Ax Men,” and the like. It will follow five high-powered women in Las Vegas, documenting their professional and personal lives. Whereas most television shows about women in Las Vegas have historically focused on showgirls and porn, this one will take viewers behind the scenes and show how the five women use their businesses, money, and connections to exert their influence in the city.

Harman is widely considered to be one of the strongest female poker players in the world. She rose to prominence through a combination of success in big tournaments (she won World Series of Poker bracelets in 2000 and 2002 and is one of a handful of women to win a bracelet in an open event), television exposure at the onset of the poker boom, and her role as one of the featured pros at Full Tilt Poker.

Harman has over $2.6 million in live tournament winnings, placing her fourth on the women’s all-time money list. She has the aforementioned WSOP bracelets as well as four top ten finishes on the World Poker Tour. The arena she has really made her mark, though, is high-stakes cash games. She is a regular player in the Big Game and is well respected by her peers.

Harman’s strength in the world of high-stakes cash games was reinforced to the poker community in the book “The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King: Inside the Richest Poker Game of All Time,” which documented a series of competitions between billionaire businessman Andy Beal (pictured) and “The Corporation,” a group of poker players that included Harman, Doyle Brunson, Ted Forrest, Chip Reese, Howard Lederer, and others who pooled their resources to take on the wealthy amateur. The games were $100,000/$200,000 Limit Hold’em and, needless to say, featured sessions with tens of millions of dollars at stake.

Harman is not as public of a figure in the poker community as she once was, as she now splits her time more evenly between poker and her family. She is married to poker pro Marco Tranielloand has two children. She also works extensively with charity and has organized several tournaments to benefit causes such as the National Kidney Foundation and Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

The other cast members of “Vegas High Rollers” include:

· Lana Fuchs (pictured) – Owner of the clothing lines Billionaire Mafia and Lana Fuchs Couture

· Amy Hanley – Daughter of mafia hitman Tom Hanley and raised by mobster Robert Peoples, she runs a business handling the financial issues of powerful people who are down on their luck.

· Alicia Jacobs – Entertainment reporter who at times has been the subject of controversy for becoming part of her stories.

· Lori Montoya – Co-Founder of Rain Cosmetics who is working on opening the 100,000-square foot Presidential Club with her husband.

TLC has recently morphed into a guilty pleasure reality network. Popular shows on the cable channel include “Toddlers & Tiaras” and its spin-off “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” “Hoarding: Buried Alive,” “19 Kids and Counting,” “Sister Wives,” and “Cake Boss.” It was also home to the former hit “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” The network has ordered eight episodes of “Vegas High Rollers.”
