Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh (born August 10, 1983 in Wilmington, Delaware) is an American professional poker player.
Leigh was introduced to poker by Robert Boyd (Russ "Dutch" Boyd's brother) when they both played the MMORPG EverQuest.
Leigh built up from playing $5 SNG online poker tournaments to playing $100/$200 limit hold'em cash games. She also cashed in the $1,000 limit hold'em event of the World Championship of Online Poker.
Leigh's nickname "Jennicide" was her alias on hacking bulletin boards when she was younger. She was at one time involved in beige boxing. [1] (Leigh has described herself as a nerd, with knowledge of Linux and C Sharp programming.)
Whilst Leigh is best known for playing online poker at PokerStars under the screen name "Jennicide," she was also involved in the Poker Royale: Battle of the Ages series. She won two preliminary heats and went on to finish 5th in the Grand Final. She finished in the money in the World Poker Tour (WPT) 2006 Caribbean Poker Adventure.
Leigh was romantically involved with World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Gavin Griffin in 2005. She has indicated that she finds it difficult to maintain a relationship whilst playing poker.
