Eva Laskari Brings You Today’s Poker News


Eva Laskari would be the dictionary definition of "Greek Goddess." Plus she's not afraid to get naked in front of cameras, so she has that going for her too...

Eva Laskari would be the dictionary definition of "Greek Goddess." Plus she's not afraid to get naked in front of cameras, so she has that going for her too...

With the WSOP Europe wrapped, it’s time to catch up on some poker news from the past week.

:: Our favorite part-time poker player, Dancing with the Stars‘ Joanna Krupa, and one-time poker player dater Derek Hough, go second this week. Not sure if this is what she’ll look like, but either way, liking the brunette look. Anyway, Krupa did an interview with Fox News this morning and turns out her and Paris Hilton hate each other. Didn’t think it was possible for Krupa to get better. But there you go. [link]

:: More reality TV and more on this later, but Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho made it through another week of The Amazing Race. [link]

:: Darvin Moon is getting all Dennis Phillipy, saying he doesn’t want the limelight, then going on ESPN’s Inside Deal and doing a Washington Post feature in a week. [link & link]

:: Full Tilt is getting sued so much, they should just start making cigarettes. [link]

:: The EPT London Main Event brought out 760 entrants. They’re in the money now with Annette Obrestad, a woman, among the chip leaders. link]

:: Occasional host of The TOKE, Dave Farra, made his MMA-ish debut of sort, kicking his radio co-hosts ass at the South Point. [link]

:: The murder of Poker Listings co-founder Andreas Oscarsson is now being investigated as a Mob style hit. Wtf. We thoughts Swedes were all nice, good-looking, morally casual types who just want to eat some ligonberry jam, have group sex, and dance to ABBA. Time to reassess. [link]

The Amazing Race: Tiffany Michelle & Maria Ho Video Preview


“They’ve” put up the video “get-to-know-ya” interview of Tiffany Michelle and Maria Hooooooooo! for The Amazing Race.

Typically when we hear a sentence begin with, “There’s a new video of Tiffany and Maria…” we like to hear that sentence end with something like, “removing their clothes and kissing,” so from that perspective, the above clip is a bit disappointing. Apparently we need to teach the people at The Amazing Race a thing or two about viral videos.

Thanks to Pokerati for the find.

Tiffany Michelle and Mario Ho on The Amazing Race Website


Unfortunately Maria Ho won't be rocking this WCP women's tee on Amazing Race.

Unfortunately Maria Ho won't be rocking this WCP women's tee on Amazing Race.

The cat has been out of the bag for awhile that Tiffany Michelle and Maria Hooooooooo!!! are on this season’s edition of The Amazing Race.

So not that it needed any confirmation, but the two are up on the website. View the team pic and bio here.

Now given that we’ll watch us some reality TV (see: American Idol, The Bachelor/ette, Dancing with the Stars Temptation Island back in the day, and now, Shark Tank), it’s surprising we haven’t ever really followed The Amazing Race. It’s supposed to be one of the best. So just like we did with the Celebrity Apprentice, we’ll tune into this while the poker chicks are on it. However, unlike Celebrity Apprentice, we probably won’t be tuned in very long. Just a gut that the girls got KO’d early. We’ll see.

Season starts Sunday, September 27th.
