Tiffany Michelle was born in Los Angeles and with Hollywood just nearby, it was natural that she grew up wanting to be an actress.

At a young age, she enjoyed performing in theaters which earned her a few nominations for the best young performer awards. She was also quite a beauty (and still is)!

As a teenager, she joined numerous beauty pageants where she held various titles like Miss Teen Santa Clarita Valley, Miss Teen Newhall, and even Miss Teenage California Miss Congeniality where she placed in the top 10.

She went on to study theater in UCLA under their Film and Television Department where she completed a two year program. She was a stage performer, singer, songwriter, and a musician so she was often found at LA's famous hot spots for music. Tiffany then made the change of moving from stage productions to big screen productions where she made herself busy with roles in television and in films.

In between films when she had a lot of free time, she would regularly play house games poker as a part-time occupation. She possessed a natural skill and ability when it comes to Texas Hold'em poker and tried her hand professionally.

She quickly earned a name for herself when she won the first tournament that she competed in. She became known in the poker community as 'Hot Chips' as she is as hot as her ability to bring on the heat in any table she plays in.

When she is not playing poker, she works as a host and commentator in poker tournaments. Her experience in poker together with her entertaining personality on camera makes the job a perfect match for her.

Tiffany hosted the 2006 World Series of Poker on-air and in 2007 she made a record as the first female to host on camera for PokerNews. For the next 18 months, she would travel to international destinations and host tournaments worldwide.

It was in 2008 when Tiffany Michelle really made a huge impact in the poker world setting new records when she found herself as the last woman standing at the 17th place in the World Series of Poker Championship Main Event where she competed against 6,844 players and earned $334,534.

In the following years, she grossed more than a million dollars just from playing poker. She appeared in publications like Rounder Magazine, Ocean View Magazine, and she was even on the cover of Steppin' Out. Maxim named her as one of the hottest celebrity poker players. She is definitely one of the most fascinating, if not one of the hottest poker players to ever compete professionally.
