Hottest Lady Poker Players

11 Mar 2010

According to Maxim, a lad’s mag, the hottest professional female poker players are Tiffany Michelle and Vanessa Rousso.

Maxim has published a list of twenty female poker players that it considered to be what is describes as the hottest. Whilst the list does include some professional female players, most of them are celebrities who maybe play the occasional game.

Tiffany Michelle is an actress, musician, poker commentator and professional poker player. In the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event she was the last female poker to be eliminated.

Vanessa Rousso is a French American and her poker name is Lady Maverick. She turned professional in 2005 though she had been playing poker since she was at school, playing mostly online. She reached  45th place in the $1,000 Ladies event in the 2005 World Series of Poker and grew from there into being a top player. She has won in excess of $2,000,000. When not playing poker she models swimwear.

Joanna Krupa is also in the top twenty. She was born in Warsaw, Poland and she hosts the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) but her major career commitment is as a model. This is not the first time she has been rated by Maxim; in 2006 they names her as the Sexiest Swimsuit Model in the World.

Shannon Elizabeth also gets a mention. Although primarily an actress and a model, she says that poker is her second career. She pays almost weekly visits to Las Vegas and has cashed four times in the WSOP.

Also on the list is Jennifer Tilly who also combines a career in poker with acting and modelling. She gained a bracelet in the 2005 WSOP Ladies Event. Her total winnings are over $500,000 and although at one time she was intending to abandon acting for poker, she has now reversed that decision.
