Hamilton is well-known as a high stakes live cash game player and, until last summer's WSOP, had never played a major live tournament. However, her decision to take part in the $1,000 Ladies' Championship certainly paid off when she bested the 1,060-strong field to take the first-place prize of $195,390.

Despite this success, all her decisions to play live events still seem to be made on a whim. She only came to the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure at the insistence of her good friend, Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.

Originally from Honolulu in Hawaii, Hamilton moved to Las Vegas in 2005. As well as playing poker, Hamilton also spends time helping out with her family's clothing retail business.
