Top 20 Finalists: Viktoria Szilasi (SexyGirl)

With her outspoken intelligence and alluring screen name, Hungarian player Viktoria Szilasi (SexyGirl) always gets noticed. But once you sit down at a table with her, you'll soon realize that she is a force in which to be seriously reckoned. She proved it at the 2009 WSOP, Victoria turned in one of the top 5 female performances, playing in three events and cashing $40k in one, and is very well-known in her home country of Hungary.

Viktoria got her start in poker when her now husband taught her the rules and then proceeded to take her for quite a large sum. Viktoria was hooked and decided to learn everything she could to be a winner. Not only did Viktoria fall in love with her husband, she also fell in love with poker. Although her husband prefers to play live cash games, Viktoria is a skilled tournament player with great results both online and live.

Her transition to professional poker player wasn't always easy. Her parents really didn't understand poker or how their cherished daughter could choose a career as a professional gambler. She laments, "It was sad, but when it changed and I started winning more in tournaments and becoming more well-known in Hungary, my father started to become very proud."

One of Hungary's biggest names in poker could very well be one of the next great players. And if Viktoria gets her dream, well, this is only one part of the equation. She is already thinking about the WSOP bracelet she plans on claiming sometime very soon.
