Model, actress, hostess,
pro poker player – is there anything the multi-talented Lacey Jones can’t do? Not according to the hordes of poker enthusiasts who follow her every move. To them, she is
the poker goddess.
With her all-American good looks, wicked sense of humor and keen intellect, Lacey has taken the poker world by storm. Unfortunately for her fans, though, very little has been revealed about her history or path to poker stardom. The basics are well-publicized – she’s a proud Texan with a heart of gold and hair to match – but what is her story? Where did she come from? Just how did this elusive and utterly feminine young women end up in an industry dominated by stereotypical male personalities?
A fifth-generation Texan, Lacey was born in San Antonio in the late 1970s. Her parents divorced when she was just seven years old, and when her father moved to Las Vegas Lacey remained with her younger sister and mother in the Lone Star State. Her mother was battling breast cancer at the time, and worked hard to instill a love of life and a fearless, go-getter attitude in her two young daughters.
