The folks from WickedChopsPoker.com have called poker babe Erica Schoenberg "a pit bull with lipstick", an obvious reference to the one time Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
From WickedChopsPoker.com:
"We're not sure what it is about Erica Schoenberg but she gets more and more attractive and cooler every time we see her. At this pace, she's going to catch up to us in the looks and coolness department, and people will expect us to get together to form some kind of "beautiful people" power couple. Like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, David Beckham and Posh or Michael Jackson and Maccaulay Culkin. Only problem is, the three of us are currently married and she's with David Benyamine. All small hurdles though. Well except for Benyamine. Nothing small about that hurdle."
Schoenberg is a former model, personal trainer, and professional volleyball player. Schoenberg received professional blackjack training from a member of the MIT Blackjack Team. She has gone on to compete in the World Series of Blackjack.
Schoenberg's fiancé is high stakes poker player David Benyamine.
As of 2008, her total live poker tournament winnings exceed $630,000. She had one cash out at the 2009 World Series of Poker where she placed a disappointing 117th: Event #17 - WSOP Ladies - No Limit Hold'em World Championship.
While Erica is certainly hot, she believes the hottest babe of poker is none other than Evelyn Ng.
"She's a good friend and my best shopping partner so I see her in dressing rooms enough to know how hot she is," says Schoenberg.
Regarding WickedChopsPoker being a "sexist" website, Schoenberg said:
"Well, I don't think you can deny that much of what they write is sexist, but I still think it's pretty hilarious. I mostly find it flattering and amusing whenever they mention me! You know you've arrived when Wicked Chops talks about you."
