Biography & Poker Background

She first appeared on the national radar through deep runs at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas, including a notable 30th-place finish in the 2022 $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw event. Stone has established herself as a versatile threat, capable of competing in high-stakes No-Limit Hold’em as well as complex variants like Big O and Triple Draw.
Stone is widely respected not only for her technical skill but also for her influence on poker culture and player safety. In April 2026, during the WSOP Europe festival in Prague, Stone made headlines by calling for stricter enforcement of player conduct rules, specifically regarding behavior that impacts the integrity of the game. A regular fixture at the Lodge Championship Series in Round Rock, she remains one of the top female technical minds in the sport and a vocal leader within the American professional community.
Play Style & Strategy
Stone is renowned for a “clinical, methodical, and highly disciplined” play style. Her strategy is rooted in a deep understanding of multi-game dynamics, which gives her a significant technical edge in fields that transition between different poker variants.

- Range Versatility: Maintaining a balanced strategy across Big O and PLO, which allows her to exploit opponents who over-value hands in high-variance, split-pot games.
- Deep-Stack Patience: Known for her composure in “Monster Stack” structures, Stone excels at navigating the post-flop complexities of 100+ big blind play to maximize her equity.
