Rebbecca Scales
Beth Gains plays life like she plays poker—with grounded power, bold instincts, and no need for permission. A Malibu-based mom of two, she’s married, practices yoga, and continues to be a powerful voice for women—on and off the felt.
She’s cashed the WSOP Seniors Event and earned her career-best finish—$9,650—at the 2023 LIPS Championship in Las Vegas. But Beth’s story goes far beyond stats.
She has marched publicly for women’s rights, spoken out when it wasn’t convenient, and continued to advocate even when others stayed silent. Her platform isn’t about ego—it’s about visibility, voice, and making space for women in rooms where they’ve been left out too long.
She recently walked the red carpet at the Dune: Part Two premiere in London, turned heads at the Oscars in a gold gown, and brought her signature wit with her. Her Instagram reel from the night featured what appeared to be a handwritten note from host Conan O’Brien poking fun at Disney—a perfect flash of Beth’s sense of humor in a space that often takes itself too seriously.
She paired the reel with Kendrick Lamar’s “Peek-a-Boo (interlude),” a choice that wasn’t just aesthetic—it seemed intentional. It was a signal of rebellion. A quiet stand. At a time when women are still told to shrink or smile, Beth’s reel said something different: We see what’s happening. And we’re not hiding

In a 2011 interview with PokerStars, Beth shared that everything she does—on and off the felt—is done with passion. Even then, more than a decade ago, she was already speaking up for women in poker and showing up with intention. That same fire drives her today.
Known on the felt as Betyamama, she now enters the $2,500 Women’s High Roller at the Venetian on June 22 with her signature calm—and one quiet rivalry: pocket Kings. She’s been around long enough to know they don’t always mean what they promise.
Her advice to women is simple but powerful: play.
Because showing up matters. Speaking up matters.
We’ll be cheering her on at this historic event—because Beth Gains isn’t just playing. She’s shifting the game.
