TEAM BODOG PRO - Tatjana  Pasalic 

Born in Bosnia, raised in Croatia, and now calling London home, Tatjana Pasalic is more than just a pretty face. She's a machine in front of the camera as well as on the felt, and knows her way around the kitchen better than many chefs. So, how did the TV presenter and amateur cook find her way into poker?

"I went to Las Vegas when I was 21 and one of my friends qualified for the Main Event. I walked into the Amazon room and heard the sound of chips and I immediately knew I wanted to be a part of it. I was living in Denmark at the time and online poker had just boomed, so I became a marketing manager for an online website and haven’t looked back."

Pasalic’s newfound love of poker, along with her interest in documentary filmmaking and blogging, soon found her covering events like the Malta Poker Tour and the WSOP*. Eventually, she became the first-ever Croatian poker journalist. In a stunning example of going all-in, she invested her life savings to following various poker tours and reporting events, creating thousands of readers, eventually leading to columns in Playboy and Poker Europa, among others.

After a lengthy stint as part of the nuts and bolts of the poker industry, Pasalic finally debuted in Prague in September of 2009, cashing in on her very first tournament and reaching 46th out of 440 players. She’s been making waves since then across multiple continents and growing her bankroll steadily.

Apart from poker, Pasalic is an avid reader, especially of astronomy, and loves to spend time with her cats. She's as charming away from the tables as she is tight-aggressive when she's staring you down at the river, and we couldn't be happier that Tatjana Pasalic is now part of Team Bodog.
