Evelyn Martinez

Evelyn Martinez is an American poker player based in Austin, Texas. While her public tournament résumé is limited, she has demonstrated competitive ability by reaching the final table of a significant regional event.

Martinez's sole recorded tournament cash comes from the PokerAtlas NLH Title Event held December 10–16, 2024, at TCH Austin. She finished 2nd out of a large field, earning $58,250 in prize money. This performance places her among the players who have achieved a six-figure score in a single tournament.

Outside of poker, Martinez works as a Host at Texas Card House in Austin, a role she has held since November 2023. Her responsibilities include supporting front-of-house operations, player tracking and seating logistics, enforcing house rules, and resolving player disputes. She is experienced with poker room technology such as PokerAtlas and POS systems like Union and Shift4.

She also serves as an Executive Administrator and Office Manager at Ladera Capital Partners, a role she held from March 2024 to July 2025, providing support to an executive team. Her professional background spans over 18 years in administrative roles.

Due to her limited tournament appearances and the commonality of her name, Martinez maintains a relatively low profile in poker media. However, her single recorded cash is a strong result that suggests skill and potential for future success on the live circuit.

Evelyn Martinez represents the many capable players who balance a professional poker career with other interests and employment. Her runner-up finish in a major regional event proves that players outside the mainstream spotlight can achieve significant results.
