Beth Shak, bringing style to poker

When Beth Shak checked into the hotel yesterday, she didn't fit the image I had of a world class poker player. Having played poker for just four years, Beth has achieved the kind of success the most players can only dream. She has already cashed in several major tournaments, including two World Poker events and two World Series of Poker events. I went up to the Beverly Penthouse to watch her as she instructed a class of individuals who were going to participate in a charity event. Beth's energy, contagious smile and grace were evident as she moved between the two tables. Plus, she's gorgeous; not bad for a mother, business woman and philanthropist!
