An avid Maxim Magazine reader might recognize Erin Ness name or even her pictures. Erin works for Maxim as a photo assistant and the company ran a contest for their employees holding a in house poker tournament and the winner of the tournament would receive an entry into the 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event, which caries a $10,000 entry fee. Erin battled her way through her employees and won the seat.
Erin played the Main Event and ended up doing very well and finished 207th which was the third highest female finished in the tournament. Maxim even ran a story about Erin’s success giving her 15 minutes of fame. Since then she has continued to play poker and also competed in the televised “Poker Royale - Young Bloods” poker tournament that was aired on the Game Show Network. During the 2005 WSOP Erin Ness placed 46th at the $5,000 no limit event. Not bad for a girl who grew up in Ocean Beach on the Jersey Shore, who learned to play cards from her family.
