While the WPT site continues to include plenty of Layla graphics, the Club WPT site seems to focus solely on Kimberly Lansing.
FYI, WorldPokerTour.com has traditionally used images of whichever hostess was appearing on fresh episodes of the TV show, rather than the “current” hostess of the live tournaments. So there were Courtney graphics up during much of Sabina’s reign, and Sabina graphics up during much of Layla’s reign.
Like Michele and the Entities, I take this as a good sign that K-Lans might be returning to host final tables. (Damn you, Ali Nejad, for getting that nickname stuck in my head!)
DISCLAIMER: While I work for the WPT as a tournament reporter, I have *zero* inside knowledge of this situation. This is all speculation on my part.

I have to say I’m very excited about the WPT and FSN deal. I think it’s absolutely wicked for poker.
As for Kimberly, “yes” that is a good sign. And she’s a cutie too.
Hmmmm, I’m thinking maybe….

If you look long enough on the WPT site (> 20 seconds), they still have Layla Kayleigh on the site.
