Danielle Andersen
Danielle Andersen (Born May 21, 1984) is an American professional poker player sponsored by Ultimate Poker. Andersen is arguably the highest earning female online cash game player in the history of online poker. Andersen’s competitive nature led her to pick up the game after watching her future husband, and friends, play in college in 2003. Finding herself winning on a regular basis, she made a $50 deposit and never looked back.
Widely known in the poker community as “dmoongirl,” Andersen was consistently found playing $25-$50 6-max cash games online – sometimes as high as $200-$400 prior to Black Friday. As one of the focal points in the online poker documentary, “Bet Raise Fold,” her life as a professional female poker player, wife, and mother was one of the more highlighted character arcs in the documentary. The success of “Bet Raise Fold” catapulted her to becoming an even more recognizable face and name within the poker community.
Andersen has cashed in 4 major live tournaments including 3 tournaments in the World Series of Poker. She can be seen on Poker Night in America as one of the few women players in this high stakes cash game.
In compliment to her poker career, upon signing with Ultimate Poker "dmoongirl" took her experience in front of the camera and became the face of Ultimate Poker's web series, ME vs. U. In ME vs. U, Andersen competes against fellow Ultimate Poker pro, Dan O'Brien in very creative and entertaining challenges. Where the winner gets a sweet reward and the loser is humiliated.
