New Player to Watch – Paris Bailey: From the Dealer’s Box to the Winner’s Circle

Paris Bailey’s smile said it all as she posed with her shiny new WSOP Circuit ring. Fresh off her victory at the Women’s Event in Baltimore, she not only claimed nearly $5,000 in prize money, but she also secured a coveted trip to play in the Bahamas.

A longtime poker dealer turned passionate player, Bailey is proof that deep game knowledge, resilience, and a sense of community can turn dreams into reality. Her tournament run was anything but easy—surviving the bubble on fumes, tripling up at the final table, and locking in the win with a cool head and steady instincts.
