Evelyn Ng Bio & Articles
Life at the felt began at the age of 14 for Evelyn Ng, but this green felt was not that of a poker table. She began her gambling days playing pool for money in her home town of Toronto, Canada and at 17 she had moved from the pool table to dealing and playing poker and blackjack in back rooms.
Poker Love
It was there that she met and dated Daniel Negreanu who became her poker mentor and helper her develop her style of play. For her 21st birthday Negreanu introduced her to the bright lights of Las Vegas, and soon after, Ng made the move and became a dealer which allowed her to further her game by studying the play of others.
Turning Pro
Ng made the step into the professional poker limelight in 2003 where she entered a satellite tournament for the World Poker Tour Ladies Night, won herself a seat, and ended up placing 2nd in the competition.
In 2005 she placed 11th at the Borgata Poker Open in Atlantic City, and in 2006 she took 7th place at the Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker Tournament held at Calvin Ayre's private residence in the Caribbean (gee... what a tough life!)
Poker Aspirations
Ng wants to be the first female to win the World Series of Poker Main Event as I'm sure many other female players do. The closest to the title so far is Annie Duke's performance in 2000 with a 10th place finish.
"With the increase in the number of women playing poker, it is only a matter of time before women start winning more events."
Evelyn has appeared in numerous television shows including Criss Angel Mindfreak where he attempts to psychologically manipulate her and influence her game - quite effectively I might add, check it out.
Evelyn Likes to Rock
Apart from poker, pool and blackjack, Ng likes to play a different type of game - Legends of Rock on Guitar Hero.
Rock On!!
