Meet Sara Chafak: A Beauty Queen of Many Talents

Finnish celebrity Sara Chafak has been the talk (and feast for the eyes!) of the world poker community ever since the airing of the latest PokerStars Shark Cage episode. Miss Finland famously sent professional player @Ronnie Bardah to the cage, pulling off an amazing bluff against his trips.

The 24-year-old owes her exotic beauty to her Moroccan father and Finish mother and has amassed an impressive resume for her age. She studied Marketing and Economics for a while, then finished culinary school, and is now a professional chef with her own TV show in Finland. In-between she won Miss Suomi 2012 and represented Finland in Miss Uiverse 2012.

The next year Sara was one of the celebrities in the Finnish edition of the Dancing on Ice reality TV competition, in which she and her partner finished third.

Singing is another one of her interests and hobbies. Finnish rap duo JVG has released a song named after her and Sara Chafak features in the video:

Winning beauty pageants, singing, cooking, ice-skating - Sara loves a challenge and the cameras and audiences love her back so it's hardly surprising she ended up in televised poker. She first learned the game from her boyfriend when she was 19 and was hooked immediately. In Shark Cage 7 she joins a brilliant line-up including @Eugene Katchalov @Kara Scott @Jean-Robert Bellande. Watch her in action:

"Who's the fish now..."
