Former blackjack pro; career winnings of more than $530K
Just because she's no longer a professional model, it doesn't mean that Erica Schoenberg isn't profiting from her looks any more. The boys around the table tend to get a bit distracted when Erica sits down - can you blame them?
Other than being a model, Erica also used to be a personal trainer and professional volleyball player. Her introduction to the world of cards came through blackjack, as she was trained by a member of the infamous MIT Blackjack Team. Erica became a professional blackjack player herself, and went on to compete in the World Series of Blackjack.
It was during this time that Erica discovered another card game where you get dealt two cards - Texas Hold ‘em. In 2005, Erica decided to completely commit herself to this new game. Smart move, as she has currently taken home over $530K in lifetime tournament winnings, including several cashes in both WSOP and WPT events.
When she's not playing poker, you can find Erica spending time with her fiancé, fellow poker pro David Benyamine. If looks could kill, Erica Schoenberg would have no competition left at the table.
