Here’s the clip of 2009 WSOP Main Event champ Joe Cada onThe Late Show with David Letterman last night.
Cada managed to get in his Poker Stars plug, admit that he lost $100k in a day after he made the final table…and Letterman showed that poker still has a long way to go (perceptionally) by talking about losing a big pot and being found dead in the back of a rental car.
Editor’s Note: We expect this video to come off YouTube at some point today but hopefully by then CBS will have put up their clip.
After either bringing up the rear or just getting lucky in surviving The Amazing Race so far, Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho killed it this week.
Still in Dubai, the girls finished second overall. The alliance they’ve formed with the GayBros. (credit Dr. Pauly’s guest write-up for that term) that seems to be strong. So maybe the girls have a shot?
Side note, the girls had to don swimsuits in the episode that they came down a water slide in and went running down the beach. Except the swimsuit tops were actually their bras. Now, we’ve seen a lot of bras in our time (for about 5 seconds before unhooking them). And we’ve never seen a yellow bra like Maria’s. Interesting. Just when we thought learning something new everyday was going to cease, there goes Maria Ho wearing a yellow bra. Thank you The Amazing Race for that.

To be honest, we figured Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho would’ve been gone from The Amazing Race by now. But with the help of a miracle on the river last week, they got to stay on the show. And they did pretty well this week in Dubai to make it to yet another episode.
The girls got pretty good air-time, especially after they busted up the radiator on their car and had to get a replacement. Maria got in a good crack about Asian drivers, which reminded us of an on-going RawVegas.tv skit we wanted to do to with her at the WSOP this past summer (and will have to revist in 2010). Anyway, on to next week. View this week’s ep in its entirety here.
Back in the day when we used to care about Anna Benson, five guys from South Carolina were arrested for playing poker...
A long time ago when we first started this site, five guys in South Carolina were arrested when “authorities” discovered that they were playing a game of poker, breaking an old law that outlawed cards and dice in the state.
Now, a South Carolina court has ruled that poker is a game of skill. Whether or not that ruling does the five dudes arrested any good is unknown, but hey, those are the kind of details we don’t particularly pay attention to anyway.
Says the PPA:
“All poker players are well aware that the game is based on making the correct, informed decisions, not just mere chance, and games of predominant skill should not be classified in the same league as slot machines or lotteries.
Ok, they’re not letting you embed the full video. So we gotta go with the above clip, which we picked because we might do a drinking game next week where after every time Tiffany Michelle says, “like,” you take a shot.
In related news, we may die of alcohol poisoning next week.
