WPT CEO Steve Heller on Changes for New Season


Watch WPT CEO Steve Heller Comments on Recent Changes to the WPT on RawVegas.tv

Earlier on Saturday, the World Poker Tour held a press conference to discuss their new season (starts tomorrow at the Bellagio).

We caught up with WPT CEO Steve Heller and new TV anchor (and old FOWCP) Kimberly Lansing to go over the big changes, talk about the Royal Flush Girls, and see if PartyPoker is going to start doing some online qualifiers for tournaments already.

Introducing the WPT Royal Flush Girls


WPT Royal Flush Girls

Guess the WPT got our memo that we like brunettes.

The World Poker Tour just held its presser at the Bellagio and the big announcement is that they’re bringing back FOWCP and longtime fave Kimberly Lansing as both the TV and online anchor for the new season. Smart move WPT.

We’ll follow up later today with more on the changes to the broadcast plus an exclusive interview with new WPT CEO Steve Heller. Stay tuned.

For now though, say hello to the new WPT Royal Flush Girls (4 of the 6 above), who will be appearing in every episode of the new season and keeping our photo gallery active over the coming year. Lots more on them later. Their official page here.

Layla Kayleigh Says Decision Was Hers, Hopes Kimberly Lansing Gets Job, Is In Playboy


Layla Kayleigh and Kimberly Lansing are the best thing the WPT has had going since Shana Hiatt
Not long after we
broke the news that Layla Kayleigh (with Kimberly Lansing in photo above) wasn’t coming back for Season VII of the World Poker Tour, the Brit hottie hostess posted a blog on her popular MySpace page explaining that it was her who gave the WPT the proverbial shaft, saying she was asked back for a second season but decided against it for personal reasons.

Says Layla:

“Also you should know that as much fun as I had on season 6 of the World Poker Tour,
I will not be returning for a 2nd season.

WPT were kind enough to ask me back for a 2nd season, however after much thought and deliberation I decided that I really want to minimize traveling in my schedule this year, focus more on my health and personal relationships, and they were very understanding to where I was coming from.

Might I add, that I had the most adventurous time on the road, learned so much about life and poker! and most importantly gained the most amazing friendship with my dear friend Kim Lansing (who I really hope lands the hosting position for Season 7)”

As we mentioned yesterday, we’re also pulling for Kimberly Lansing. Don’t f-it up Steve.

On the good news front for Layla and everyone still wanting to see her looking hot in front of the camera, she is back in Los Angeles doing The Feed for G4 and she’ll be returning for a second season of America’s Best Dance Crew on MTV.

Layla’s also in the current issue of Playboy as Babe of the Month, although like she told us back in December she isn’t nude and won’t ever pose nude (closest you’re gonna get here, here and here).
