Lee Davy sits down with Maria Ho to talk about her new TV show Poker Night: The Tour, and to learn more about the life of one poker’s true stars.

Maria Ho has the glamorous side of poker pretty much licked. With over $1.6m in live tournament earnings, spread across all forms of poker, she also has the game pretty much licked.

So what else needs licking?

Maria Ho is not just a fantastic poker player. Maria Ho is a brand, and a very noticeable and successful one at that. For the past two years she has been shouting out the action at the Heartland Poker Tour (HPT). This week she announced a change of tact. She would leave the HPT to focus on a new TV show called Poker Night: The Tour.
