Anna Wroblewski’s Early Life and Introduction to Poker
Anna Wroblewski was born around 1985 in Vietnam and later immigrated to the United States, where she began her professional poker journey. Although there are limited public details about how she was introduced to the game, Wroblewski began playing poker during the boom of the mid-2000s. Starting with cash games, she gradually transitioned to tournament play and quickly gained attention on the circuit.
Poker Career Highlights and Winnings
Anna Wroblewski’s first recorded tournament cash came in 2007, when she earned $7,290 for finishing 16th in the $2,000 No-Limit Hold’em event at the Fifth Annual Five Star World Poker Classic. She followed that up by winning the $3,000 NLH event at the same series, scoring a life-changing $337,395 and a seat into the $25,000 WPT Championship.

Later that summer, Wroblewski made a deep run in her first WSOP appearance, finishing 4th in the $2,000 NLH event at the 38th World Series of Poker and earning $192,876.
