Rate Poker Players

One of the brightest faces in poker belongs to the lovely Evelyn Ng. Better known around the circuit as Evy or Evebabee, she has become one of the most recognizable players in the game today. She made her splash on the scene back in 2003 when she finished second in the WPT Ladies Championship. Since then she has made over $285,000 in tournament winnings.

She, like many professionals, got her start in gaming by dealing blackjack and poker. She was dealing in Toronto at the age of 17 and eventually moved to Vegas where the real action is. She is also one of the best at chip tricks; that and her good looks keep the camera pointed at her wherever she’s playing. Players have been trying to do her butterfly trick ever since she displayed it on the 2004 ESPN segment of “The Nuts”.

You can’t talk about Evelyn without mentioning Daniel Negreanu. They met at an early age in their hometown of Toronto, Canada, and both were heavily into playing billiards. The two dated for a period of time years ago and remain good friends today. She is one of the characters in Daniel’s popular video game “Stacked”, and he has helped her become a force to reckon with at any table she decides to join.

She was part of the PokerStars team for awhile but now she’s a member of the Team Bodog squad. She recently started to do some poker broadcasting, working for NBC commenting on poker of course, and seems to be quite at home with a microphone in her hand. The combination of those two skills will keep her in the public eye for some time to come, and none of us are complaining about that.

Ng will eventually win a big tournament and her career will take off to the grandest of levels. She has the potential to be the biggest female poker star in the world once she wins that big tournament – it’s only a matter of time.
