Lacey Jones Loves Canadians!
Well, maybe that is just a small part of the story, but it was an easy way to shorten the title from “Lacey Jones is the new face of the Canadian Poker Tour”, which is the actual story here.
Yesterday the CPT announced in a press release that Jones will be the new “face” of the CPT. For those who don’t know who Lacey Jones is, she has been voted the sexiest poker female poker player many times has appeared in this poker music video and has even won a few games too!
Here is the full press release along with a sexy pic of Lacey:
CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 1, 2010/– The Canadian Poker Tour (CPT) owned and operated by HeadsUp Entertainment International Inc. (STOCK SYMBOL: HDUP.PK) is pleased to announce that it has signed Poker pro Lacey Jones as the “new face” of the CPT. Recently voted the “hottest girl in poker”, Lacey will be featured on the cover of the upcoming issue of Canadian Poker Player Magazine as well as having a pictorial spread and feature. That issue is scheduled to hit poker rooms across the country in February.
The deal was set when Lacey and CPT President Kelly Kellner met in Costa Rica in November 2009 at the CPT/WPS Costa Rica Challenge. “Here is a girl that loves hockey, loves Canadian beer and is an amazing poker player to top it off. I told her she has been picked up off waivers and claimed by Canada and the CPT’, stated Kellner. “We believe that by having Lacey attend many of our events and the fact that she is about to move to Vancouver, the partnership couldn’t be stronger.”
With female poker players in CPT tournaments on the decline over the past 2 years, the CPT believes that having a strong female role model will attract the female player base back to live tournament action and that she will be a strong draw for the player base in general. Lacey will also be featured on the new online poker television network, Canadian Poker Player Television, about to be launched by the Company. Full details on the network launch will released soon.
“I truly love Canadians and am so happy to be a part of the Canadian Poker Tour”, stated Lacey. Having recently played at the 2010 CPT Kickoff Poker Series, Lacey will be returning to Canada for the Winter Freezeout to held at Cash Casino in Calgary, February 24 through February 28, 2010.

For the record Lacey, I am Canadian and I love you too! For more info about her, check out this Lacey Jones profile.
