TOP best female poker players: a selection

Many female poker players make impressive moves and earn impressive prize money at tournaments. For example, most recently in WSOP 2020 at the game session on Unlimited Texas Hold’em, Nahrain Tamero won a gold bracelet and a prize of more than 310 thousand US dollars.

However, an interesting note: out of the total number of poker professionals, only 7% are women. But still, they are there. So let’s get acquainted with those who are among the TOP best female poker players.

10th place: Joanne Liu (JJ)

Joanne Liu, a player from Taiwan, opens the TOP best female poker players. She ranks second among the best poker players in her homeland. JJ never played poker until she moved to Silicon Valley in 1996 to work as a software engineer.

Of course, it would be a big omission to live there and never visit a casino. So Joanne took the opportunity. Poker pulled her into its gambling abyss, and since then, she has started participating in live tournaments. During the entire period of her poker career, she was able to earn more than $ 3.2 million.

In 2007, Joanne Liu took first place at the World Poker Tour Championship.
