888 Pro Jessica Dawley on Poker Night in America, Women in Poker and More

Women in poker has been a topic bantered about for decades. Can they compete with the men? Time has shown that they clearly can. Are they better at the game than men? Some would say so. Whatever the debate, one thing everyone seems to agree on is that it'd be nice to see more women playing poker.

Jessica Dawley, an 888poker pro, is on a mission to make that happen.

Dawley, who was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and raised in Southern Indiana, learned to play poker when she was just six years old, courtesy of her uncle.
