World Champion Poker Player Beth Shak Proves She is More Than a Pretty Face

Beth with CardsAs a female in the traditionally male dominated sport of poker, Beth Shak has spent her entire professional career breaking down the barriers that female poker players are forced to face.

As a world champion poker player (who was also named world’s sexiest poker player by News of the World), Beth has had to prove that she is more than just a pretty face. She participates in the highest stakes tournaments such as the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour every year, and in her short professional career (she went pro in 2004), Beth has made it two World Series of Poker final tables and earned close to $1 million.

Now, she has earned the respect of all her competitors and has a HUGE fan base.

Beth says, “I’m so proud not only to be a successful poker player, but to be a successful woman in a male-dominated field. Thanks to the loyal support of Full Tilt Poker and my amazing fans, I have been fortunate enough to be the woman who brings this incredible sport into popular culture. It’s truly an honor, and it’s been one hell of a ride. I can’t wait to see what happens next!”

    This is what happens when you are dellusional.

    She is NOT a world champion poker player. She is a rich divorcee who lives off her ex husbands wealth.

    She has not made “CLOSE” to a million dollars, in fact she is a losing player. She has 450K in winnings, and over a million dollars in buy ins.

    IF your going to write a story, you should at least be correct in the “Facts” you are writing.

    Maybe we should add “honest reporting” to the list of things that girls cant.
