Kristy Gazes was born and grew up in the LA region. The first person who taught her how to pay poker was her father. When Kristy Gazes turned twenty-one she would often go to the
Commerce Casino along with her friends to play Pai Gow. 
At one time when she saw the poker tables all set for play she recollected the time that she used to play poker with her father. She joined the game of 7-stud a shot at one of the tables and as they say the rest is history. She enjoyed the competitiveness and the rush of adrenaline that the win at the poker table gave her and from there it was poker all the way. Kristy Gazes had already been a swimming champion and was certainly familiar with the highs of winning. The game of poker became so very enjoyable and almost addictive for Kristy Gazes that many a night she found herself heading to the Commerce Club.
She continued to play poker for ten years and went on to beat some of the best and most renowned of names in the poker business. After that she decided that it was time enough for the biggest mixed cash games. That is when she decided to head for the “No-Limit Hold ‘em Tournament.” She did so well out here that in the very first game of WPT event she was able to be declared a winner. She also went on to become 2007′s Ladies Night Champion. Kristy Gazes has been the only woman poker player to get as many as eleven cashes in her kitty. Another thing to be noted is that she is not a full time professional poker player.
