Best photo of Kara Scott ever?

A total of 142 players entered Day 1A of the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star with 57 making it to Day 2.

Leading at the end of the day — and earning a $10,000 bonus for doing so — is Brian Schmidt with 187,700. He’s followed by Eric Moore with 160,000, and Kara Scott, a woman, who is stacked oh-so-nicely and has 137,100 in chips. The suspiciously named Mehrdad Nouralishahi (136k) ends the day in fourth and Layne Flack rounds out the top five with just over 131k.

Of the 19 “Shooting StarsTM” who started, nine survived including the aforementioned Scott and Flack, Mike Matusow (127,200), Brandon Cantu (117k), John Juanda (85k), Gavin Smith (67K) and the man the myth the legend, Black Phil Ivey, Big Sldick, the one and only Dwyte Pilgrim (52k).

John Krpan has 20k.

2010 WSOP Update: Yan Chen Wins First Bracelet


Kara Scott - 2010 WSOP Girl on the Rail

No, not you. Behind you. That's Kara Scott. Now just sit very still while she sweats her bf, Brian Townsend.

Unlike the movie Fast and Furious, the action wasn’t as fast and furious on Monday as over the weekend, when Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan nearly decimated the poker economy. No real storylines we’re following, which is good, so we can finish our work on getting the UB list out.

:: Event #13 ($1,000 NLH) – The field of 3,042 has played down to 56. Matthew Vance, who has already cashed in two WSOP events this year, is the overnight chip leader, stacked at 547,000. Other notables remaining include Jared Hamby (still notable?) 217,000, seriously Ylon Schwartz (183,000), and Andy Black (51,000). Get full chip counts here.

:: Event #14 ($1,500 2-7 NL) – After finishing third in a $2,500 2-7 WSOP tourney last year, Yan Chen closes the deal on this one and wins his first bracelet, banking $92,817. Get full final table payouts here.

:: Event #15 ($10,000 7CS 8oB) - With 18 remaining, Frank Kassela takes the chip lead into Day 3, stacked at 515,000. John Juanda (368,000), Allen “Chainsaw” Kessler [found a structure that agrees with him] (316,000), Vladimir Schmelev [yet again] (275,000), and Jennifer Harman [a woman] (197,000) all remain in contention. Get full chip counts here.

:: Event #16 ($1,500 NLH) - A total of 1,663 played down to the money, ending with 146. Roger Teska will start Day 2 as chip leader, stacked at 221,000. He’s followed by Kevin Iacofano with 149,200. Other notables remain include but are certainly not limited to Mark Seif (70,300), Bryan Micon (65,500), Carter Phillips (64,400), Eric Buchman (58,200), Matthew Hawrilenko (53,100), Lee Childs (49,000), and Jerry Freaking Yang (38,300).

2010 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship Field Announced


Kara Scott is among the surprise names in the 2010 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship field list.

The full field for the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship was released today.

With so many automatic qualifiers there isn’t room for too many surprises. However, some names that did stand out on the list included:

  • Kara Scott: We’re big fans of Kara, but apparently her hostess gig with the WPT carries more weight within the industry than we thought?
  • Jamie Gold, Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer: Looks like former WSOP ME champs will continue getting invites for another year.
  • Dennis Phillips: Same goes to non-former WSOP ME champs who people think are former WSOP ME champs.
  • Annette Obrestad: This is the first big-time televised event she’ll be playing in the States. Expect big things.
  • Phil Gordon: He didn’t play last year and doesn’t play much anymore in general.
  • Phil Laak: Yeah, he’s running good for the past week, but that doesn’t excuse the past five years.
  • Johnny Chan: People still care about him?

The field feels a little light on the celebrity/athlete angle too. Just the usual suspects of Don Cheadle, Jennifer Tilly, Orel Hershiser, and Gabe Kaplan. No Michael Phelps. Not even…dare we say…Trishelle.

Also, Layne Flack did not get an invite back this year. Wonder why.

Go below the fold for the full field listing.

PartyPoker Signs Kara Scott as Team Member


Watch Girls Going Hard and Long at the 2008 WSOP on RawVegas.tv


Interesting…VERY…interesting.

We’ve been Kara Scott, a woman, fans for awhile now. Super cute, very cool, and driver of lots of “Kara Scott nude” Google search results to our site.

We’re with Pokerati in wondering, “How has PokerStars not snatched her up yet?” Instead, in one of the more interesting player signings we’ve seen, PartyPoker has brough Scott on as a team member.

Yet another sign that Party is angling for their inevitable U.S. return?

Also…Party now owns the World Poker Tour. So like we said…interesting…VERY…interesting.

Interview above with Scott from the 2008 WSOP where she demonstrates she’s quick on her feet and says she’s “super loose” and go below for a photo gallery.

Kara Scott has her sights set on the Last Woman Standing Cup(TM). Unfortunately we don't know the exact number of woman left yet as too many French names could be chick names.
