Erin NessErin Ness has been playing poker since she was a child. She grew up in Ocean Beach on the Jersey Shore where she learned to play cards. Her family used to sit around for hours playing card games including gin rummy, hearts, war, and poker. While she was away at college at Georgetown University, she used to play in three games a week. She now has her sights on the big game.

Erin earned her entry into the 2004 World Series of Poker by winning an office tournament. All employees of Maxim Magazine were invited to play in a company poker tournament, with the winner getting an all-expense paid trip, including the $10,000 buy-in to the main event of the WSOP. Erin was confident that it would be her to represent Maxim.

During the event, she captured the eyes of players around the world because of her sweet demeanor. She ended up finishing in the money (207th), the third highest female finisher in the 2004 main event. Rose Richie finished 98th and Lucy Rokach finished 159th.

Erin Ness PokerErin Ness also competed in the televised Poker Royale: Young Bloods tournament that was broadcast on the Game Show Network (GSN) featured David Williams, Michael Sandberg, Scott Fischman, Mike "the Grinder" Mizrachi, Erica Schoenberg and Ness. She ended up finishing second to David Williams. GSN realized that Erin was exactly the type of person that is suited for television (not to mention ratings) and they invited her back for another show, Battle of the Ages.

Erin still has her day job at Maxim, but tries to play poker as often as she can. She has been hitting up the NYC poker club scene and plans to continue playing tournaments. She has met a lot of professional poker players and has a lot of respect for many of them. I asked her who her favorite was and she said it was hard to pin-point one. She said she owes most of her poker skills to her buddies, Steve Raab and Ryan Porter, because they are great players... and students of the game.

Erin was for a time one of the players sponsored by the pokerstars.com online cardroom as part of Team Pokerstars. Some of the other sponsored players are Greg Raymer, Chris Moneymaker, Isabelle Mercier and Wil Wheaton.
