St. Patrick’s Day was a lucky and special one for poker couple Karina Jett and Chip Jett, who watched their 20-year-old daughter, Athena Jett, dazzle in her American Idol audition.

The Las Vegas modern jazz singer put on quite a performance in her first appearance on the musical TV competition show, which is in its 22nd season, thanks in part to an assist from her younger sister, Angelina. A group of friends and family all showed up to Roma Restaurant & Deli, a popular Italian restaurant owned by Poker Hall of Famer Todd Brunson, to support the aspiring musician.

Athena Jett, who gave an exclusive interview to PokerNews, will appear in the audition round of American Idol, a music competition TV show in its 22nd season, March 17 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.

If that last name sounds familiar to poker fans, it’s because the 20-year-old from Las Vegas is the daughter of longtime poker players Karina Jett and Chip Jett, both former Full Tilt Poker pros with over $3 million in combined live tournament cashes, according to The Hendon Mob.
