Working mom has an unusual job

MIAMI (AP) - February 21, 2011

But she doesn't head to an office when her kids are in school.

She goes to a casino.

The Miami-area woman is a professional poker player.

She says her son and daughter know "mommy plays poker."

The Miami Herald reports Kenney has been on a tear in recent months.

She earned $24,000 by winning a tournament last month at the Isle Casino in Pompano Beach.

But it's not an easy life.

She says last summer she was so down on her luck, her kids had to live with their father.

And Kenney was crashing on couches.
