I think it's Vanessa Selbst. Vanessa's list of poker achievements is impressive: three wins over $1 million, 19 six-figure caches, a victory in the PCA high roller tournament, two wins in the Main Event of NAPT. In poker, she is the only female owner of three
wsop bracelets. And the only woman who has ever topped the GPI rating.
Vanessa studied law at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University. And at the same time I played poker. In order to participate more actively in live tournaments, the girl took a sabbatical. And soon she completely abandoned the legal profession, completely focusing on the game. In her first major live WSOP 2006 tournament, Vanessa took seventh place, receiving more than $100 thousand.
Two years later, she won the first championship bracelet. In 2010, Vanessa became a member of the PokerStars professional team. That year was especially successful for her — the total winnings exceeded $ 2 million.
Despite the huge success in poker, in 2017 Vanessa Selbst announced the end of her poker career. She currently works as a trader in one of the largest hedge funds and lives with her friend Miranda Forster, whom she married in 2013.
