On April 10, 2001, Danielle “dmoongirl” Andersen was a professional poker player living happily in a small town in Minnesota with her husband and young son. The film Bet Raise Fold (which also featured former podcast guest Tony Dunst) shows how Black Friday turned her life upside down. Nearly four years later, Danielle is settled in Las Vegas, once again living with her family and earning a living as a poker player. In this conversation, she reflects on the last four years of her career, her relationship with Ultimate Poker, and her new life in Las Vegas.
