In today's field is Fatima Moreira De Melo, a Dutch field hockey player from Rotterdam who is a member of Team PokerStars Sportstars. To say that her interests are eclectic would be a understatement.

In addition to being a three-time Olympic medalist in field hockey (Bronze in Sydney-2000, Silver in Athens-2004, and Gold in Beijing-2008), she has a Masters degree in Law, has a side career as a singer, makes regular appearance on Dutch TV shows, and plays poker on the side.

To date, De Melo's best WSOP cash was an 18th-place finish in the 2010 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. She will obviously be looking to best that result in this tournament.

De Melo is doing well so far and currently has 14,000 in chips.
