Danielle Andersen (born May 21, 1984) is an American professional poker player sponsored by Ultimate Poker.[1] 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.[2]
