Familiar Faces

Fans of tournaments will definitely recognize two of this year’s inductees. Vanessa Selbst is a former pro, now working as a trader. Although she does not frequent the tournaments like she used to, she is still top of the women’s all-time money list with $11.9 million in tournament earnings.
