HISTORY
Career & origins of Maria Ho
Maria Ho is one of poker's most accomplished tournament players and one of its most visible broadcasters. With multiple deep WSOP runs including a Main Event final table appearance, she demonstrated sustained excellence in the most competitive fields in the game over many years of professional play.
Her transition to broadcasting — as a commentator for the World Poker Tour and PokerGO — built on her ability to analyze the game clearly and communicate it compellingly to audiences of all experience levels. She became one of the most skilled and respected voices in poker broadcasting, helping the television and streaming products that carry the game to wider audiences.
