Donna Blevins

Dr. Donna Blevins, the 6’5” Big Girl of Poker, discovered the game in her late 40s and quickly made her mark. She wrote for Poker Digest and Poker Player Newspaper, and served as an advertising executive for both.

In the 2007 WSOP Main Event, she turned a $216 satellite into a $51K win — finishing as the top 4th woman out of 6,400 players.

Donna developed MindShifting™ technology to help players manage tilt, sharpen focus, and perform under pressure.

Today, she shares hard-won wisdom through her Substack, Poker’s Life Lessons, and continues to coach as the MindShift Mechanic.
