Kristy Gazes of Team FullTilt

My name is Kristy Gazes and I play online poker exclusively at Full Tilt Poker. If you want to learn more about my poker career, keep reading...

I was born in Torrance, CA and like many other LA natives, I made my way into the entertainment industry after school. While I enjoyed my career as a documentary filmmaker, poker caught my interest and the rest, as they say, is history.

I initially started as a cash-game player, and quickly became a regular in many area high-stakes games. In fact, before 2003, I only played about five to 10 tournaments a year, preferring to sharpen my skills in as many different games as I could and earning my nickname of Kristy "Mixed-Games" Gazes.

While I still love playing in cash games, I have been focusing more on tournament play in the past few years. Most recently, I won first prize in the FullTiltPoker.Net Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, which you can see broadcast on FOX Sports Net.
