HOT POKER GIRLS
One of the reasons for hot poker's explosive growth has been the diversity of poker players that play the game. No longer is hot poker just a domain of older white western gentlemen. Online hot poker has brought younger poker players to the game. Ladies tournaments are bringing more women to the game.
HOT POKER GIRLS
Jennifer Tilly the hot poker player has been in the Hollywood spotlight for over twenty years, but the light on her is even brighter now because she has become an attraction in the poker world too. After winning her bracelet, she told one of the reporters that Phil taught her everything she knows about poker, "through osmosis". She also said, "This is better than an Oscar" as she showed off her new bracelet to the media and spectators. The Oscar nominee for the 1994 film Bullets Over Broadway won the Ladies No Limit Texas Hold'em event at the 2005 World Series of Poker. She beat a field of over 600 women and took home $158,625 for the win. This accomplishment makes her the first celebrity to win an event at the prestigious Las Vegas tournament. Two months later she followed up this accomplishment by winning the third World Poker Tour Ladies Invitational event at the Bicycle Casino. The women she bested included Isabelle Mercier and Cecilia Reyes Mortensen.
