Online Poker site UltimateBet announced the addition of 24-year-old Hollywood actress Tiffany Michelle to its Star Players Team. The actress and singer/songwriter is one of the newest addition in UltimateBet’s already impressive lineup of pro poker players.

The cameras were rolling at this year’s World Series of Poker when Tiffany Michelle, the last female player left standing in the Main Event, outperformed her way to an impressive 17th place finish, beating the largest field to date by a woman.

The Hollywood actress walked away with $334,534 in cash and was sporting UltimateBet gear as part of the online poker site’s much-talked-about UB Army program.

Tiffany Michelle, who can be found playing online poker at UltimateBet under the username “Tiffany M”, has appeared in variety of films and television series, including appearances on Nip/Tuck and E.R. As a way to supplement income between her acting and songwriting career, Michelle began playing online poker at UltimateBet.

Discovering she was more than lucky, but quite talented at the game of poker, she began playing in land-based tournaments as well. It wasn’t long before Michelle’s dexterity gained the respect of professional poker players around the world.

Michelle’s signing is the fourth recent signing by UltimateBet. As the World Series of Poker was starting the online poker site signed Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy to its Star Players Team and Eric “Rizen” Lynch. Only one month later however, Lynch had a change of heart and decided to leave the Star Players Team. A few days later James “POKERPRO33″ Campbell was added to the roster.
