Cherish Andrews

Cherish Andrews first made her presence felt on the live tournament scene with a pair of deep World Series of Poker runs in the 2010s. In 2012, she finished fourth in a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event at the WSOP, earning $210,083. Two years later, she added another five-figure score with a fifth-place finish in a $1,500 WSOP NLH event for $142,346. These results marked her as one of the most promising young female poker stars in the game, a label that would prove accurate as her career progressed.

The 2022 season was a defining year for Andrews. She was named the Global Poker Index (GPI) Female Player of the Year, edging out Angela Jordison in the final standings. That year she cashed for $758,513, more than doubling her previous career tournament earnings. The bulk of that total came from three deep runs at the WPT World Championship, which combined for nearly $500,000. She took second place in the $10,100 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller for $259,200 and won the $1,100 NLH event for $131,912. She also final-tabled the WSOP Ladies Championship and finished sixth in the Wynn Mystery Bounty event, capping a season that established her as a consistent threat in major tournaments.

Andrews' tournament résumé includes a WSOP bracelet, along with three WSOP circuit rings, 36 final tables, and 168 total cashes on WSOP.com. Her top live results feature a mix of victories and deep runs across buy-in levels:

• 2nd place, WPT World Championship $10,100 NLH High Roller (Dec 2022) – $259,200
• 4th place, 2012 WSOP $1,500 NLH – $210,083
• 1st place, Wynn Millions $2,200 NLH 6-Max (Mar 2024) – $182,927
• 5th place, 2014 WSOP $1,500 NLH – $142,346
• 1st place, WPT World Championship $1,100 NLH (Dec 2022) – $131,912

For years, her wins came in events with buy-ins of $2,200 or less, a trend she finally broke with a major high-roller victory in 2025.

Andrews captured her first tournament win with a buy-in above $2,200 at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown $25,000 High Roller. She took home $408,265 after a four-way deal that also included her partner, Brock Wilson, and two other players. The deal was struck shortly after Kevin Rabichow was eliminated in fifth place, while the clock was ticking on registration for the $5K Deep Stack. At the time of the agreement, Andrews held the biggest stack with 135 big blinds. The victory marked her second Seminole Hard Rock trophy and set a new personal high score for a single cash, pushing her career earnings to just over $3.3 million.

Andrews has remained a fixture on the tournament circuit. In 2023, she cashed in ten WSOP events. The following year, she recorded two six-figure scores at the Wynn Millions, including her $182,927 win in the $2,200 Six-Max event. Her live earnings have continued to climb steadily: by December 2024, she had recorded 200 cashes and more than $2.68 million in lifetime earnings; by June 2026, that total had grown to over $4.58 million across 256 cashes, and just days later surpassed $4.71 million with 259 cashes. Her latest recorded cash was $8,423 on 25 June 2026. With multiple six-figure scores and deep runs in major series, Andrews has established herself as one of the most consistent female tournament players in the world.

Andrews is known for her versatility across poker disciplines, competing successfully in both No-Limit Hold'em and mixed games. Her ability to adapt to different formats and maintain deep runs in high-stakes fields has earned her respect among peers. She is also part of a well-known poker power couple: her partner, Brock Wilson, is a fellow tournament pro, and their shared appearance at the Seminole Hard Rock $25K High Roller final table — where they negotiated a four-way deal together — was a rare and notable moment in live poker. Andrews' combination of consistent results, aggressive tournament volume, and steady growth in career earnings continues to make her a prominent figure in the poker community.
