\"MariaPoker Pro Maria Ho<\/a> was one of the many women who were nominated to the 2018 Women in Poker Hall of Fame<\/strong> (WiPHoF).

Ho turned 35 recently and met the age criteria to be nominated for the 2018 WiPHoF. She wasn\u2019t even aware that she was nominated to this year\u2019s WiPHoF. In her very first year of nomination, Ho was shortlisted to the WiPHoF along with founder Lupe Soto<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The WiPHoF like the Poker Hall of Fame<\/a> tends to induct just two players each year.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Maria Ho said <\/p>\n

I honestly didn\u2019t believe it at first. It really was one of those things where it was just an honor to be nominated. I know that\u2019s something that everybody says but it really was! I really wasn\u2019t expecting to be voted in. I felt like I was up against so many incredible women that I was just happy to be part of the group of nominees!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ho A Great Ambassador Of Female Poker Players<\/h2>\n

Ho has played a part in previous WiPHoF ceremonies<\/a> having spoken at the 2016 event when Victoria Coren-Mitchell<\/strong> and Debbie Burkhead<\/strong> were inducted. This time it\u2019s her opportunity to enter the prestigious WiPHoF and be recognized for what she has done for the female poker community across the world. <\/p>\n

Ho has not limited herself to playing poker but has also taken up other roles in the industry to use her skills to boost the image of poker and show that female poker enthusiasts can make a mark in the industry.<\/p>\n
