Anna Benson: Gold Digger of Poker

Not many people enter the World Series of Poker on a dare, and those who do usually wind up as competitive debris before the first break. This is not how things happened when Anna Benson stepped up to the World Series of Poker plate because of dare.

According to rumors, hot model Anna Benson "Gold Digger" entered the 2005 WSOP just because of dare and taken the poker world by surprise. Bringing beauty, brains, and wit to the tables, she has quickly gained respect as one of the foremost women poker players in the world.

And all because of a dare. An anonymous fan bet that she would win the World Series of Poker, fronted her entry, and challenged her to test her skills with the cards. And did she ever! By entering the 2005 W.S.O.P with just under a month of training, she gained nationwide respect by lasting until the end of the third day. She beat out 1200 other players and shocked the poker professionals that gathered to watch her.

By the time she was eventually eliminated, three days had gone by and over twelve hundred other players, many of them established professionals, were watching her from the rail and still in shell shock from the fact that they had been eliminated and the FHM cover girl was still going strong.

Anna caught the poker playing bug and the poker world will never be the same. Besides occasional tournament play, she has recently moved on to $10-$20 no-limit cash games.
