She soon met another native of Toronto, Daniel Negreanu, who tutored her and helped her hone her poker skills. After Evelyn’s first visit to Las Vegas at the age of 21, she decided that she wanted to pursue the ‘poker life’. She took jobs dealing in land based and online casinos, and she credits this experience for teaching her the abilities to read people and identify tells.
