Putting Emmanuelle Chriqui at #1 almost, ALMOST, makes up for the omission of Vikki Blows.
First, on the list were Joanna Krupa at an almost-completely-discrediting-the-list-low #77, former WPT hostess Layla Kayleigh at #25, and Keeley Hazell at #22.
And in a surprise at #1? WCP (and Pauly) fave Emmanuelle Chriqui. Well done, there, Ask Men.
However, not making the list? Vikki Blows. How the fuck does that (not) happen?
Other notables include Arianny Celeste (#98), Sasha Grey (#97), Gina Carano (#68), Kim Kardashian (#42), Mila Kunis (#32), Megan Fox (#11), and Marisa Miller (#2).

Not long after we
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
On the good news front for Layla and everyone still wanting to see her

The WPT has released their official statement on
“Layla Kayleigh brought great edge, whit, and personality to the World Poker Tour as hostess in Season VI, and we sincerely wish her well as she continues to explore her TV career. We are currently casting for the Season VII TV hostess role, and look forward to introducing her to everyone soon.”
We can confirm that the hosting role is now in its final call back stage. No word if Kimberly Lansing (at right) is part of that final call back or if the WPT is looking to go in an entirely different direction. If we had some sort of WPT super-delegate vote though, we’d cast it for
Rumors are also swirling that
Mike Sexton’s contract is up, he is not expected to return (his wife is pregnant with his first child). Linda Johnson’s last episode will be the WPT Ladies Night at Bellagio. I don’t know what will happen to Van Patton. It is unknown if GSN will renew the WPT contract, the new CEO is alleged to be anti-poker. I think we are looking at the end of the WPT.
Remember the last time
While we don’t think this is the end of the WPT, it will be interesting to see what direction the company will take in the near future.
