Carmel Petresco was a European by birth but eventually she moved to New York. Her good looks have got her a lot of media attention. When she was young she owned her own business as a personal wardrobe shopper and a professional stylist. Although she has her share of inclination towards fashion but poker was what played at the back of her mind. One of her close friends encouraged her to try it. She learnt her poker basics by watching her male friends play and by reading various books on poker.
After moving to L.A she played in her 1st live cash game. With a lot of qualms in her mind she went for the game to which an acquaintance of hers had invited her. Her doubts were proved quite incorrect when she won quick and big. This success convinced her that she had what it took to be a professional. Five Diamond World Poker was her 1st big tournament was in 2004. She acquired the 9th position in the $1000 No Limit Hold’Em Summer Series. She finished in the 5th place in the 2005 Legends of Poker in the $300 No Limit Hold’Em event. Her most remarkable win was when she earned $19,775 at the 2006 No Limit Hold’Em tournament at the Commerce Casino. At the WSOP, her aggressive approach of playing proved favourable for her. Her good looks as well her game tactics brought her into limelight.

She finished decently out of all 6000 participants.
Petresco states that she on the game table a woman cannot be distinguished from a man. Characteristically a man perceives a woman as a soft being.
