As the
2008 World Series of Poker goes from serious to seriously serious this week, I somehow managed to get in a few minutes with Bluff’s super busy producer and occasional on-air talent Gloria Balding. A regular fixture at the WSOP and tournaments around the world, Gloria got her start in the poker world after a chance visit to Las Vegas to see this year’s The Last Woman StandingTM Tiffany Michelle during the 2006 WSOP. That trip landed her an administrative job with Bluff, which evolved into production.

Don’t fret if you’re unable to catch Balding on the floor at the Rio as you can find her on ESPN 360, Bluff and the World Series of Poker site. In our chat, Balding shares how WSOP commish and famed blogger Jeffrey Pollack busted her checking out Wicked Chops Poker’s Girls on the Rail, and why she’s qualified to be a cougar.

Maria Ho at the 2008 WSOP

Maria Ho is looking to prove that last year wasn’t a fluke at the 2008 WSOP Main Event.

Maria Ho will forever be known as the “Last Woman Standing” at the 2007 WSOP Main Event after she outlasted all other woman hopefuls to finish 38th and cash $237,865. Ho’s beeing playing poker professionally for the past few years and her success has landed her major coverage as well as a spot on Team Bodog.

Also impressive… she holds a communications degree from the University of California and likes to slow dance with Tiffany Michelle.  But you can read all about that stuff after you hump to the jump.

Girl on Girl at the 2008 WSOP: Liz Lieu

Liz Lieu is an obvious pick for Girl on Girl at the 2008 WSOP. The girl is smokin’ hot, super funny and plays poker like a pro.  OK, so she is a pro poker player but just because someone is a pro poker player doesn’t necessarily mean they play like a pro poker player. 

Lieu was an easy interview as she always has something enlightening or funny to say.  I had a chance to catch up about her experiences this year in poker, life and the 2008 WSOP.  And of course… and how much she likes to read Wicked Chops Poker.

Hump to the jump for more Liz Lieu…

Girl on Girl at the WSOP: There’s Something About Amanda Leatherman


The below is WCP contributor Michele Lewis‘ latest interview in her “Girl on Girl” series at the WSOP. Stay tuned for more interviews with some of the coolest, hottest girls in poker. Check out Michele’s blog at michelelewis.com.

Amanda Leatherman at the 2008 WSOPGirl on Girl at the 2008 WSOP is a great way to start off Monday morning.  And who better than Amanda Leatherman of PokerRoad and PokerNews (photo above playing in the 2008 World Series of Poker Ladies Event).  Leatherman can easily be perceived as just a cute petite blonde; however, don’t think for a second her strength is synonymous with her size.  She may be a tiny… but she walks tall, speaks her mind and has a sharp sense of humor.  Leatherman concocts her skills of wit, professionalism and girl-next-door appeal to create interviews that get to the point yet are fun and entertaining. For example, she managed to host Phil Hellmuth shotgunning a beer then ended the interview before a possible "Frank the Tank" streak.

Again, some might think it’s just her beauty encouraging the constant double-takes, but I disagree.  I think she has a way of making one feel as though they already know her or … they really want to get to know her (and I don’t mean sexually).  Last week, Leatherman was sweet enough to answer some questions about who is hot and how she landed in Las Vegas to travel the world.  Thump to the jump to read something about Amanda…
