Big news today as Caesars Entertainment (CZR: Nasdaq) IPO’d. The stocked opened trading on Wednesday at $9 per share and closed up 71% at closing price of $15.39. Good news for some for...
In a recent interview with Gaming Intelligence, Laurent Tapie said that he hopes to have a re-branded Full Tilt Poker launched by March 1. Ok then. There’s a better chance of Layne Flack repaying his debt...
Tiffany Michelle hosted a charity poker tournament with Kyle Petty (replaced by Natalie Getz in the above pic) and a bunch of Bachelor contestants. Lots of hooking up likely ensued...as well as money raised for charity.
Bachelor Pad was one of the best reality shows since Temptation Island 2. Not as good–nothing is topping it–but it was in the same league, which is a lofty compliment. So naturally if there’s going to be some cross-over Bachelor Pad-poker event, we’re posting it.
Tiffany Michelle and Kyle Petty (odds given to us at beginning of the year we’d lead a sentence with that: 250-1) hosted the Victory Junction Charity Poker Tournament last week at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas. Celebs in attendance included C Thomas Howell (fortunately not in black face), a getting-hotter-by-the-minute Natalie Getz, Trishelle Canatella, Jennifer Elise Cox, Dave Good, former MLB baseball pitcher Dave Stewart, adult film star Samantha Ryan, and Kovacs.
Making the final table were Lacey Jones, Jeff Madsen, and the aforementioned Tiffany Michelle and C Thomas Howell. Madsen took it down.
Victory Junction Foundation was founded by Kyle Petty and actor Paul Newman to provide children with chronic medical conditions and illnesses free-of-charge life changing experiences and camps. This event raised $10,000 for the charity. Learn more about Victory Junction Foundation here.
In semi-related news, someone needs to work on getting Natalie Getz a Sammy RyRy style sponsorship deal for the WSOP this year. More Getz is a good thing.
Former WSOP Last Women Standing and Amazing Race stars Tiffany Michelle, a woman,and Maria Ho, a woman, joined us in the studio yesterday for a “spirited discussion” about the 2010 WSOP Main Event final table, what to make of Jonathan Duhamel‘s win for poker both here and in Canada, Joseph “Subiime” Cheong‘s blow-up (or was it not a blow-up?), Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi‘s 5th place finish and what can the World Series do to improve its TV broadcasts next year.
Also, for the first time ever, Maria and Tiffany perform a song live on our show, and as viewer “rawwolf” noted, it seemed liked a dream Vanessa Selbst would have. Get right to the song here.
Finally, the show ends with another great PokerVT strategy session (starts here), this time featuring pro Jason Somerville answering viewer questions and breaking down Jonathan Duhamel’s now-infamous hands against both Matt Affleck and subiime.

On today’s show: Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho join us in studio and perform a song live (for real). We’ll also have what could very well evolve into a “spirited discussion” about 2010 WSOP Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel‘s place in the poker landscape, as well as things the World Series could do to improve its TV broadcasts next year.
The show will end with another PokerVT strategy session, this time featuring pro Jason Somerville.

Once the WSOP is over, we’ll be doing the show from the This Week Instudios in LA with their slick set up and production crew. With the set up at the Rio, the production/show format’s obviously rough right now, thanks for baring with us over the next few weeks.
