Before poker ever entered the picture, Kenna had already lived a few lifetimes. Actor. Mime. Clown. Waiter on Rodeo Drive. Then somehow…a traveling poker pro sitting next to legends during the early poker boom.

In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Art (https://x.com/artparmann) and Justin (https://x.com/justinyoung07) sit down with one of poker’s true originals — Kenna James.

From deep runs during the Moneymaker era to wild prop bets with Mike Sexton, Kenna’s journey through poker is unlike anyone else’s.

But this episode goes deeper than results.

Kenna opens up about the emotional highs and brutal lows of the game — losing everything, rebuilding his life, and eventually turning his experience into a philosophy of coaching that blends poker, psychology, and personal growth.

It’s a story about ambition, ego, mistakes, second chances… and learning how to win the game beyond the felt.
