NO, especially if you ask Vanessa Selbst <\/strong><\/p><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;padding-top:0;margin-bottom:10pt;padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.38\">If you&#039;re into poker circles, you&#039;ll often hear good things about Vanessa Selbst. Many describe the American woman as &quot;amazing&quot;, &quot;amazing&quot;, etc. Of course, this is no accident. Vanessa is ahead of many others in at least two indicators. First, she is among the not-so-many women breaking into one of the most male-dominated card games. And secondly, her breakthrough doesn&#039;t come by accident. Her style seems recognizable, and her successes are indisputable. <\/p><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;padding-top:0;margin-bottom:10pt;padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.38\">The New Jersey-born lady has a great mind. Her education shows it. She graduated with a degree in political science from one of the most prestigious universities in the USA - Yale. <\/p><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;padding-top:0;margin-bottom:10pt;padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.38\">Her mind definitely helps her in poker. Selbst is the first woman to win 3 World Series of Poker bracelets. Only 61 people in the world have more. But none have her accomplishment from the main event of the North American Poker Tour - first place two years in a row. With such results, she became the first woman to reach number 1 in the Global Poker Index rankings among all professionals in the world. Her total live tournament earnings are over $11 million. Not bad\u2026<\/p><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;padding-top:0;margin-bottom:10pt;padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.38\">Unfortunately, in 2018, Vanessa announced her retirement from professional poker and continued solely as an amateur. Born into a Jewish family, Sebst turned to the world of business investment. The American thanked the game and described it as &quot;fun&quot; that can be very draining from an intellectual point of view. May each of us find at least one such profitable pastime...<\/p><p style=\"margin-top:0pt;padding-top:0;margin-bottom:8pt;padding-bottom:0;line-height:1.3\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;height:1em\"><span style=\"display:none\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Probably the best female player ever<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6722,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,25],"tags":[109,11],"class_list":["post-8579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-casino","tag-109","tag-usa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\u041f\u043e\u043a\u0435\u0440\u044a\u0442 \u0435 \u0441\u0430\u043c\u043e \u0437\u0430 \u043c\u044a\u0436\u0435?!
