Vanessa Ashley Rousso[1] (born February 5, 1983) is an American professional poker player, attorney,[2] DJ,[3] and television personality. Rousso was a member of Team PokerStars from 2006 to 2015, with the online name Lady Maverick, and was a spokesman for GoDaddy.com from 2009 to 2013. She has earned money as a professional poker player since 2005.[4][5][6]
Between 2005 and 2011, Rousso finished in the money in numerous live poker events and accumulated nearly $3.5 million, but has been less active since, earning just $83,000 in live tournaments between 2012 and 2017.[7] She has placed in the money seventeen times at the World Series of Poker.[8] In 2007, she won over $700,000 with a second-place finish in the main event of the World Championship of Online Poker. As of September 2021[update], having not cashed at a tournament since 2017, Rousso still ranks among the top ten women in poker history in terms of all-time money winnings.[9]
Rousso has been a pro-gambling campaigner and activist.[10] She has appeared on television in several cash or charity poker competitions, and finished in third place as a contestant on the 2015 season of Big Brother.[11]
