Charles Kersey hails from New Brighton, Minnesota, and has been a dedicated poker player since 2002. His poker journey began in college dorm rooms, progressed to live games at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minnesota, and eventually transitioned to online platforms. In late 2023, with more time on his hands as his children grew older, Kersey returned to live poker and made a significant career shift by leaving his manufacturing job to become a dealer at Running Aces Harness Park in Columbus, Minnesota.
Kersey's most notable achievement in poker came in 2024 with a 6th place finish in the Millionaire Maker event at the World Series Of Poker for $289,630.
