Her biggest win to date came at the WSOP Circuit Commerce stop in spring 2024, where she won her second WSOP-C ring along with over $105K, topping a field of over 1,400 players.

Always an entertaining figure in the poker world, Gollins can often be seen playing on live streams or adding color from the commentary booth. Her unfiltered takes on the state of the game are another reason she’s one to watch, and she’s always been keen to share her opinions with PokerOrg readers.
