You may have spotted her at the World Poker Tour's Ladies' Night and noticed her disarming beauty. Another poker hottie - Erica Schoenberg was born March 25, 1978 in Akron, Ohio. MIT trained and heavily math inclined - Schoenberg has demonstrated a natural knack for card playing and poker.
Schoenberg, of Las Vegas, is now sponsored by Mansion Poker. Her affiliation with this team makes her a recognizable - if not easy to look at - spokesperson for Mansion's advertising and commercials. She is currently dating fellow Mansion teammate David Benyamine. It is not a big surprise that Schoenberg's graceful, photogenic qualities point to her previous employment as a model. Her slender and very feminine figure - often flaunted with confidence, is the result of Schoenberg's years as a pro volleyball player and personal trainer. Once Schoenberg realized that modeling was not her life's goal - she turned to blackjack - a sport she enjoyed as a youngster. This move quickly left her marked with the decidedly unoriginal moniker, the "Blackjack Babe." But there is more to Schoenberg than meets the eye - although much attention is given to her physical presence, she has talent that is helping her make money. Schoenberg placed sixteenth at the 2006 Five-Star World Poker Classic, and more recently, she earned the top spot at the World Poker Tour Mandalay Bay Championship's preliminary No Limit Holdem event. Schoenberg has a steadily growing bank account and has currently earned $270,780 in lifetime poker winnings.
