LeRon Washington Wins WPT Celebrity Invitational


Seen Above: ClubWPT.com qualifier LeRon Washington contemplating how he qualified for the WPT Celebrity Invitational by qualifying on ClubWPT.com.

In possibly the best possible advertisement for ClubWPT.com imaginable, LeRon Washington, an online qualifier through ClubWPT.com (people really play that huh), won the WPT Celebrity Invitational.

For the win, LeRon, who qualified on ClubWPT.com, banks $100,000 and a seat into the $25,000 WPT championship in April. All that just for qualifying at ClubWPT.com.

Sean Urban, who did not qualify on ClubWPT.com, finished second for $50,000. Another non- ClubWPT.com qualifier, Trishelle Canatella, placed third for $20,000.

Trishelle Cannatella Makes WPT Celebrity Invitational Final Table


Seen here at the red carpet before the event, Trischelle Cannatella isn't doing the poker-is-a-skill-game-argument much favors.

Good news for poker players looking for another morally casual female to join the circuit.

Trishelle Cannatella, who once dated 9/11 conspiracist Jeff Madsen (2/5/10: Never Forget) but is better known for basically breaking the reality-sex-on-tv-barrier, has made the WPT Celebrity Invitational final table.

By all accounts, Trishelle has played a very solid game, but still, it’s Trishelle. She’ll go to the final table stacked fourth overall with 1,540,000.

In first overall is Sean Urban with 2,090,000.

Also at the final table is ClubWPT.com qualifier LeRon Washington who is stacked at 1,790,000.
