Despite being there for superficial purposes initially, her skills at the table were quickly noticed by Absolute Poker after finishing 32nd out of 360 other players, and she was soon after asked to represent the label. This led her to work directly with professional Mark Seif, who coached her into improving her game. Other labels that she models for include Max and Co., Playboy Leather Collection and Carolina Herrera.

Since her debut at ESPN, Lacey Jones as worked as a Poker TV host for the US Poker Bowl, Borgata Poker Open and lavish World Series of Poker competitions.
