Move over Annie Duke. Hannah Elisabeth (Hannah Montana at 75) is the new Queen of attention whoring. It’s only 8 minutes into tonight’s broadcast of the WSOP Main Event on ESPN and this haggard looking chick is at the television table. An ex actress-turned poker pro (that means she’s unemployed) this chick is a cross between Tammy Faye in her better days and some whiny Jewish mother in law. The horror!
Clearly looking to somehow parlay her 15 minutes of fame at the television table, she’s chatting it up non-stop. Telling Chau Giang how intimidating he is, mucking her cards and patting herself on the back. If she were at least younger. And hotter. And slimmer (no cottage cheese on the arms!), then perhaps we could tolerate some of this. At least for a minute they flashed another bimbo, Vanessa Rousso , who unfortunately didn’t get seated at the TV table.
Back to the Grandmother at the table – she’s now singing a song. Now she’s saying: “It’s good to be a Chau”. Good to be a Chau? So now he’s a friggin noun?
Fast forward to about the 20 minute mark, this lady finally gets her remaining chips in with pocket Jacks against some fat dude holding Ace King. I swear I’ve never rooted for some random dude to win a race more than this one. The King hit the river and she didn’t improve. Buh Bye Hannah. I’m sure the Flamingo Hilton is hosting a slots tournament or something…
Last weekend we wrote an article about the last women standing at the 2008 WSOP (which WCP claims to have Trademarked, even though our article was out before theirs, and this one supercedes our own). Boy did we screw up! We had this article written for us and the writer failed to mention poker hottie, Tiffany Michelle.
Michelle won the rights to the Last Woman Standing at the 2008 WSOP and is currently sitting in 3rd place. Michelle has been playing incredibly in this event, and though she has made a few big suckouts (pretty much a requirement to go this deep in this event), she has outlasted all of the biggest names in poker.
Michelle is in good position to make the final table, and might even come out on top to take down the full event. This would be amazing to have a woman make the final table as she would be the first to do it in 13 years and the 2nd woman ever! If she keeps up this great play over the coming years, she may even end up finding herself in the Women in Poker Hall of Fame, but that is still a long way away.
Regardless, Michelle is no stranger to a 1st place finish. On her site she lists that she has come in 1st in 7 smaller events. Sure, these are nothing compared to the WSOP Main Event, but it does show that she has some tournament experience at a final table.
So, congratulations Tiffany, and good luck in the rest of the event. We are rooting for you!
We just have one request…. Stop selling your soul and supporting cheating poker sites. Take that damn Ultimate Bet logo off, it makes you look less hot!
Now that Layla Kayleigh has announced that she will be leaving the WPT, fans are left wondering if Kimberly Lansing (seen on the left with former TV Host turned poker player: Montell Williams) will step in to take her place.
God, we hope so! Lansing’s videos have always been great to watch as she is always upbeat and looking so damn good.
When Kimberly is not working for the WPT she works as a freelance journalist for magazines such as InStyle and People. She has also been seen several times interviewing stars on the Hollywood red carpet.
Lansing isn’t just a reporter, but actually plays poker too. Her best finish to date was 8th of 445 at the Commerce Casino WPT Invitational in March of 2008. Unfortunately only the top 6 positions paid, so she did not make any money from this finish.
Anyway, let this be a plea to the WPT… MAKE KIMBERLY THE NEXT HOST!
I’ll end this whiny post with a video of Kimberly Lansing playing on the beach at the WPT Event in Turks and Caicos:
Kara Scott is a poker player and announcer from the UK. Kara Scott was born in Canada and moved to the UK to work in the British media. Kara Scott is one of the hottest new faces in women’s poker.
