Breaking: Layla Kayleigh Out as WPT Host

by Wicked Chops Entity on 5.12.2008 in Poker News,World Poker Tour | 5 comments

WPT host Layla Kayleigh is out after one season on the poker tourSoooo…a RawVegas.tv employee was dining in LA this weekend when a random conversation broke out with a TV producer who mentioned that the World Poker Tour is about to hold auditions for a new host. Or had already held auditions for a new host.

Either way, this means WCP fave Layla Kayleigh is no longer a WPT host.

Fortunately, as far as we know, Kimberly Lansing isn’t going anywhere.

Aside from her Season 6 WPT hosting gig, Layla Kayleigh also anchored MTV’s popular America’s Best Dance Crew, which this season was won by the JabbaWockeez.

No word yet if this was a Layla or WPT decision. When asked for the old confirm/deny, the WPT’s not-bad-on-the-eyes-themselves PR team had “no comment” at this time.

Watch our webisode of The Toke with Layla below. And get your WCP Layla Kayleigh photo and video fix here.

Layla Kayleigh Outtakes from WPT Season VI (Might Offend the Easily Offended)

by Wicked Chops Entity on 3.10.2008 in World Poker Tour | no comments

Remember Shana Hiatt‘s goofy outtakes from when she was on the World Poker Tour? Sticking her tongue out, crossing her eyes or doing the do-see-do after she flubbed a line.

So darn cute. So hot.

Well, with new hostess Layla Kayleigh making her WPT television debut on GSN in just two weeks (March 24 @ 9pm), a couple of videos have been posted on YouTube showing a selection of bloopers from the British hottie’s Season VI tapings.

The one below is our favorite because it has Layla Kayleigh joking around about having a Bindi dot on her forehead and talking with an Indian accent (about 46 seconds in).

Kind of reminds us when another British hottie Danielle Lloyd mimicked Bollywood-er Shilpa Shetty on Celebrity Big Brother. People just loved that stuff.

Click here for another video of Layla outtakes plus Shana Hiatt’s bloopers reel.

Breasts Spectacular: Layla Kayleigh and JC Tran at the WPT Invitational

by Wicked Chops Entity on 3.4.2008 in Girls,World Poker Tour | no comments

Quien es mas spectacular breasts? Layla Kayleigh o JC Tran?

Within “poker circles,” it’s widely recognized that poker pro J.C. Tran has the most spectacular breasts on the circuit today. They are truly exquisite.

However, this informal poll of poker insiders we refer to does not also take into account those who “cover” poker. If it did, then surely World Poker Tour hostess Layla Kayleigh would rank at the top.

If anyone can appreciate spectacular breasts, it’s J.C. Tran. Seriously, J.C. sees spectacular breasts everyday when looking in the mirror. So it should come as no surprise that he knows how to recognize a spectacular pair when he sees them.

What does come as a surprise though is that he somehow managed to not glance once at Layla’s top section during his interview with her Saturday night. The guy has focus. It’s why he kills it on the poker circuit. That and because he has spectacular breasts.

More photos of the spectacularly breasted, perfectly hourglass-figured Layla Kayleigh and the spectacularly breasted J.C. Tran at the WPT Invitational after the jump . . .

Kimberly Lansing Will Be Traveling Less this Year

by Wicked Chops Entity on 2.20.2008 in Poker News,World Poker Tour | 1 comment

WPT Announces Season VII ScheduleThe World Poker Tour released its schedule for Season VII and unlike Kirstie Alley on Jenny Craig, the televised tour has slimmed down, with just 14 tournaments set to be televised, a significant decrease from last season’s 21.

The events that were dropped from the WPT schedule include two Las Vegas tournaments (Mirage Poker Showdown and Mandalay Bay Poker Championship), the Ladies Night invitational, the WPT Spanish Championship, the World Poker Challenge in Reno, the World Poker Open in Tunica and the WTP event in Turks and Caicos which if we haven’t mentioned before, its capital city is called Cockburn Town (read about our trip there back in ’96 here).

The official word from Steve Lipscomb:

“Industry trends and player feedback were instrumental in creating the schedule, which focuses on marquis events to drive increased field sizes, riches prize pools and more media coverage for players. The schedule also gives players more opportunity to participate in satellites and other events and allows the WPT and the Casino partners to focus on bigger promotional opportunities around each event.”

The short of it is, with the EPT doing really well over in Europe and more and more tournaments and tours entering the market in Asia, South America and the Caribbean, it simply isn’t possible for the WPT to draw the requisite fields and big name players needed for a 20-event season. The even shorter of it is profitability.

By the way, we haven’t asked whether WCP fave Kimberly Lansing will be back for Season VII, but considering that Lansing and Layla Kayleigh are the best things that have happened to the WPT since Shana Hiatt lounged around in her bikini on a sailboat in the Caribbean, we hope she returns. Check out our video interview with Kimberly here.

Layla Kayleigh Makes WPT TV Debut this March, Travel Channel Says WPT Like Crack

by Wicked Chops Entity on 2.13.2008 in Poker News,World Poker Tour | no comments

Layla Kayleigh is the host of the World Poker Tour on GSNAlmost a year after it was announced that she was replacing one-season host Sabina Gadecki, Layla Kayleigh–who currently reigns as the number one searched girl on this site because she has a smoking hot body and a really pretty smile, and eyes too…they’re really pretty–will finally make her World Poker Tour television debut on March 24, when the sixth season of the pioneering poker show premieres on its new network, GSN. A total of 23 two-hour episodes will air on Monday nights at 9 pm.

This is the first season the WPT will be seen on the gaming-geared network after five seasons on the Travel Channel.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to have GSN as our partner and the new home of WPT,” said WPTE’s Steve Lipscomb.

You know who also couldn’t be more thrilled? Pat Younge, the president of the Travel Channel, who apparently is pigs-on-shit happy to get rid of the WPT even though it was a ratings monster for the network.

“We needed it like a junkie needs crack,” Younge said recently about the WPT.

“That was the downside of the World Poker Tour … it did bring us a rating number, but it so damaged the brand in the eyes of the traveling community that it impacted our ability to monetize it somewhere else,” said Younge. “We are a travel play.”

Which totally explains why the network seems to be dominated by foodie type shows now like No Reservations and Bizarre Foods.

Anyway, Layla Kayleigh is fun to look at. Do some of that below and here, here here and here.
