Women Poker Players
A hottest women in poker list shouldn’t take anything away from women’s accomplishments in the game. Beyond good looks, women are increasingly dominating at the poker tables, proving just as capable as their male counterparts – a thought echoed by Daniel Negreanu at the 2012 WSOP, dubbed ‘Year of the Women’:
Random thought: there are more strong/intelligentwoman in poker today both at the tables and on the media side than ever before.
— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) July 11, 2012
That series saw three final tables for female players in early events, a bracelet winner in Vanessa Selbst, and two women bubbling the Main Event final table.
Notably many of the sexiest women of poker are also amongst the richest. Mainstream tabloid newspapers are also starting to take notice of women’s success in the game.
