Maria Ho
Born in Taiwan, but raised in the United States, Maria Ho’s star has been rising since she started playing professionally. Ho’s another player with a lot of crossover appeal, thanks to her appearance on Season 15 of The Amazing Race. (Though she and teammate Tiffany Michelle masqueraded as a school teacher for much of the show.)
On the poker tables, Ho’s prowess as a psychological player is well known and she’s not just beautiful, she’s very smart, too.
Ho is fluent in Mandarin Chinese, so don’t be surprised if she’s tapped for more endorsements as Asian markets open.
