I have a serious crush on Vanessa Rousso, she is the best mixture of beauty and brains i have ever seen. It isnt even her smoking hot body that does it for me, its her eyes, the first time i saw those eyes on a poker show i fell in love, then i googled her, and found out she is even hotter then i anticipated. I love the fact she is a card player. For some reason though she married a guy who is 22 years older then her. Here is to dreaming! Maybe in my next life.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa_Rousso Vanessa Ashley Rousso[1] (born February 5, 1983) is a French American law student at the University of Miami and a professional poker player.[2] She is also known by her Pokerstars online screen name Lady Maverick.[3] Born in White Plains, New York, Rousso has dual citizenships with the United States and France.[4] Rousso is a member of Team PokerStars, and a spokesperson for GoDaddy.com. She has earned money as a professional poker player since 2005.[5] A photo of her appeared in the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.[6] Rousso was her 2001 high school class valedictorian and graduated from Duke University in December 2003.[7][8] She is the wife of Chad Brown.[9] As of 2010[update], Rousso had finished in the money in numerous live poker events and had earned over $2,500,000 in career earnings.[10] She had placed in the money a cumulative total of thirteen times in the 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 World Series of Poker.[11] In the 2008 tournament, she placed 625th of 6844 entrants in the Main event. However, in 2007, she had earned over $700,000 with a second place finish in the main event of the World Championship of Online Poker. At the age of 27, she ranks among the top five women in poker history in terms of all-time money winnings.[12] In addition, she has become one of the game's foremost sex symbols.[13] She has been a pro-gambling activist on both the national and state level. Her parents are Marc Rousso and Cynthia Bradley of Hobe Sound.[8] Rousso began talking and reading at early ages says her mother, Cynthia Ferrara.[14] Born in New York, she moved with her family to France at age 3.[15] She lived in Paris, in her father's homeland until she was 10, when she moved briefly to Upstate New York.[15] After her parents divorced in 1992, her mother moved Vanessa to Florida near her maternal grandparents. Rousso attended Wellington Landings Middle School.[14] The oldest of three athletic girls,[15] Rousso was active on the high school swimming, lacrosse and debate teams.

However, because she considers both to be fairly objective static games, she began to prefer poker, which incorporated human psychology that allows for inferior hands to win.[14] She graduated early from Duke University after two and a half years with a major in economics and a minor in political science in December 2003.[15][17] Her collegiate duration of two and a half years was the shortest time to graduate in the history of Duke.[15] At each stage of her life, her mother warned her that she would someday meet her proverbial Waterloo and at each stage she has avoided such downfalls.[14] Rousso began law school in 2004 and was the inaugural recipient of the Chaplin Scholarship from the University of Miami.[18] During Law School at the University of Miami School of Law, she served on the editorial board of the University of Miami Law Review.[19][20] A poker player since the age of five, Rousso began serious poker tournament play during her summer break from law school.[2] Rousso was in the top 5% of her law school class,[21] but she did not finish law school.[16] Now, excluding online winnings, she ranks among the top five women in poker history in terms of all-time money winnings.[12] She currently resides part time in Las Vegas, Nevada and part time in Hobe Sound, Florida.[16] Her nickname was given to her by a relative when she sold shares of herself to enter a $25,000 buyin event in a manner that was reminiscent of a storyline in Mel Gibson's movie called Maverick.[15] As of year end 2009, Rousso drove a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo.[15]
