Comment. She is not a professional player, and being named one of the top five female poker hosts is not a big deal (are there even more than five all together?).

That's
your own personal opinion and not a policy based.
reliable sources claimed she is a Professional poker player and TV presenter, a description by multiple reliable sources. Meanwhile
WP:RS is all that is important to Wikipedia and that's where Wikipedia draws its conclusion and not from a non-policy based opinion. For example if you actually know that
Barrack Obama is the president of the US and no single reliable source mention that, certainly you cannot include that claim in the encyclopedia which undermine your own fact that he's actually a US president. Aside all this, per significant coverages in multiple RS, she actually meet
WP:GNG. To be blunt with you, your deletion rational that She doesn't qualify as a poker player nor, I'm guessing, as a TV presenter/host seemed to be ridiculous to me. Your rational clearly shows that you ignored
this guideline before your nomination, which is not a good idea to me. By observing that guideline, you will definitely not have any reason to "guess" whether she is a TV presenter/host or not per your rational.

A professional poker player is generally defined as someone who makes a living at it. The Hendon mob database shows her tournament winnings as a bit more than $10K. In an interview, she herself admits "I much preferred the guaranteed income [working at Sky Poker] rather than the risk of playing for a living". That's irrelevant anyway. Being a professional poker player no more qualifies for notability than being a professional accountant.
WP:POKER#Biography article notability criteria, while only an essay, suggests at least a major tournament win or a $1 million cash. As for GNG, most of the references are either not about her specifically or just announce she has taken a new position. The onlinepoker.net article may or may not be acceptable; it plays up her "Stunning Poker Babe"ness, so it's more a case of
WP:HOTTIE (where did that go?). That leaves a Poker News interview.

P.S. When I said "I'm guessing", I was referring to the notability of being a host/presenter, not whether she was one.

Keep. Satisfies the "prolific" criterion of
WP:ENT by being host of multiple television series.
