Professional poker player Maria Ho is paired up with fellow player Tiffany Michelle for The Amazing Race Season 15. The pair have been best friends for three years, and were also the last women standing in the World Series of Poker Championship Event in 2007 and 2008. Maria is currently ranked 33rd in the Top 100 Women’s All Time Money list among poker players. She was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and moved to the United States with her family when she was just four years old and is fluent in Mandarin Chinese. Maria graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a degree in communication and a minor in law. When she is not busy traveling the poker tournament circuit, Maria enjoys singing with her sister’s band, “Another Sky.”

Last season Tammy and Victor Jih won Amazing Race 14.
