Anna Benson Inc.

That's Anna Benson. Now, I don't know Anna, but I am sure she is a very savvy dudetrepreneur. And being a dudetrepreneur is not just for the boys, either, as Anna shows us.

This is an edited version of the story behind Anna...

Anna Benson wants people to know she's a brain as much as she's a bosom, and she's using a year-old poker hobby to prove it. Benson has joined the ranks of Cindy Margolis, another poker-savvy bombshell, in signing a multi-year deal with online poker room Golden Spirit Poker.

In partnering with the site, Benson has agreed to promote, market, and play at Golden Spirit's play for fun website www.goldenspiritpoker4fun.net. Benson also links fans to Golden Spirit's real-money poker site from her personal website, and has had a domain created especially for her (www.golddiggerpoker.com), which takes players directly to GoldenSpiritPoker.com.

Benson, the wife of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kris Benson, entered the 2005 World Series of Poker, and actually made it through a few days of competition, beating more than half the player field.

She reportedly intends to compete once again this year, with high hopes of getting even further in the competition, and she's working hard to get there. Benson has been reported as saying that she plans to gain instruction from big name pros to sharpen her poker skills.

All good stuff...

Congratulations Anna for being the savvy dudetrepreneur that you are...
