June Jenkins: A Familiar Face on Ireland’s Poker Stage

June Jenkins might not be a full-time player on the Irish circuit, but when she visits, she makes a serious impact. This week, she returned to Dublin for the Dublin Poker Festival and once again shone. Jenkins won the Tuesday Daily Turbo event, pocketing €1,367, and took third in the Women’s Championship with €1,100. These wins add to an already impressive record: last year, she took down the Killarney 300, and she also claimed a high roller event in Dublin with the Irish Poker Tour.

Though based elsewhere, Ireland has become a home away from home for Jenkins. She’s a close friend of Dara O’Kearney and often drops into key events. Her latest successes bring her live earnings to over $241,453, now ranking her 15,372nd on the all-time money list. In a January interview after her Galway win, Jenkins emphasized her love for these big Irish stages and her desire to keep challenging herself. As 2026 unfolds, it’s clear that Jenkins is a force to be reckoned with, bringing her flair and tenacity each time she returns to Irish felt.
