Aged only 24, Veronika Larsen has good reason to let her birthday – and poker winnings – be known to the world because in the first instance, she’s hardly at the stage where candles on the cake count for her smarts, and secondly, because as a true Texas Hold’em player, she’s bagged the Poker Queen title several times over in her short but eventful career highs of poker tourneys and wins.

Believed to be a Norwegian living in Europe, Veronika Larsen’s single status attracts just as much interest as does her poker playing strategies that get her loads of attention which her natural good looks also contribute a lot towards ensuring in any public appearance she makes.

Regarding in the world of professional poker as a rising ‘Poker Babe’ Veronika is said to have stepped into the world of pro poker officially when a Swedish gaming authority, called Betsson honored her with the 2006 title of “Poker Queen” – an event sponsored for a year on the Euro poker tourney circuit with a great deal of public following and media coverage.

Currently, Veronica Larsen has made a full time career out of playing pro poker at PokerStars and is also an established author largely playing for cash wins as well as a significant player featuring regularly on the European Poker Tournaments that brought her to the limelight. Though she’s only been playing for the last 5 years having turned pro when only a teenager, the vibrant and beautiful 24 year-old has already won many accolades, including 7th place in the European Poker Ladies Championship and regularly interviewed by Sky sports for her determination to come up tops in a challenging cash game event besides wanting to make it big on the global poker scene.

People often mistake Veronika Larsen to be a model or TV star because of her unique, good looks and slender toned figure, but the bombshell babe of Euro poker had a regular day job that she quit of course, in favor of pursuing a full time career in professional poker.

Now she only plays cash poker games and travels the Euro poker tour circuit in search of the big games where she can make her mark, rising higher up on the ranks and this is why enthusiasts of poker are sure with the level of determination and youthful energy Veronika exhibits in her games, she is sure to strike it lucky – and big in Texas Hold’em, online poker and regular tourneys too!

So, not paying much attention to other less delectable Norwegian origin things, like lutefisk, a fish based dish that seems unpalatable to anyone other than those from Norway and disregarding the native and primitive instincts of early Norwegians for a war-like stance of saying ‘hello’ with an axe on meeting Europeans when they crossed over to the shores, its wise to say Veronika Larsen is a great upgrade for millions of poker fans who appreciate the poster girl beauty and brains for smart pro poker in a Poker Queen.

Betsson sponsored their poker star Queen for an entire year on the Euro Tour during which time Veronika embraced pro poker with a vengeance and shifted her focus to big cash games as well as EPT events that she can be regularly sighted in, playing as she says she does, ‘for the number one spot.’ All this in between lots of poker-associated television shows she constantly features on – so all we can say is live it up, Poker Queen!
