June 25, 2010 6:42 amVanessa Rousso has one of the most recognizable faces in the poker world and has managed to carve out a highly successful career for herself both on and away from the felts.
The 27 year-old classic beauty has an exceptional intelligence, which saw her graduate from Duke University with a degree in economics and political science in a college record of just two and a half years.
A professional poker player of six years, Vanessa Rousso is ranked in the top five women poker players of all time with over $3.5 million in live tournament earnings. What’s more, as one of the foremost sex symbols of the game, Vanessa Rousso has had a whole host of companies lining up to sponsor her throughout her career, including PokerStars and GoDaddy.
Now, EQ Labs have announced that Vanessa will be an official spokesperson for “The Smart Energy Drink” company, and commenting on the latest deal Chief Executive Officer of EQ Labs, Maurice Owens said:

This deal with Vanessa allows us to reach a national television audience. Vanessa is smart and attractive and she is the embodiment of what our product represents. She will be an instrumental part of our national marketing campaign.”
Vanessa has said that the EQ effervescent tablet which are dissolved in water to provide an energy boost, have helped keep her “alert and focused” at the WSOP, where losing concentration for just a second is enough to cost a “tournament and millions of dollars.”
“I’m so happy to be part of the EQ Energy team! I have been working with the CEO for a few weeks and I really believe in the product and the company. The energy tablets are awesome. They taste great, are super portable, and of course, give me a real energy boost,” continued Rousso.

As the saying goes, I’ll take whatever she’s having!
