Tiffany Michelle
The story
Will she make history by being the first woman to ever win the WSOP Main Event?
How does one define someone with so many talents and credits to her name? Tiffany “Hot Chips” Michelle is a singer, dancer, actress and professional poker player. At the time of publishing, Tiffany is the only woman left in the original field of 6844 players who flocked to the Rio for the World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event, sitting comfortably with a 9.9 million chip stack (third largest) and guaranteed at least $250,000 in prize money. What’s her story so far?
Tiffany is a veteran in the performing arts scene beginning her career at the tender age of ten when she toured and performed at several premier venues across the country. She is also a celebrated actress with notable roles in ER, Nip/Tuck, and most recently, the hugely successful Will Ferrell comedy, Semi Pro. Her career in poker began in 2005 after competing in a good mix of home games and several celebrity charity poker events. She certainly made a presence in the poker scene as she was quickly picked up by leading poker media company, PokerNews Ltd and subsequently offered a job as the brand’s video reporter.
This role would open doors for Tiffany as she travelled the world reporting in the biggest and most important poker events including the World Series of Poker, World Series of Poker Europe, European Poker Tour and the World Poker Tour Championships. She sealed the deal by making fast friendships and securing exclusive interviews with the most influential players and movers in the industry.
In fact, it was PokerNews that sponsored her into the 2008 WSOP Main Event and congratulates her for her tremendous efforts thus far. PokerNews is happy to be associated with such a talented poker player and will continue to support her throughout the Series and her undeniably bright future.
