Poker Blog and Poker Gossip

Here is a video with 2 of the hottest poker babes: Kimberly Lansing (WPT Hostess) and Erica Schoenberg (Professional Poker player and wife to David Benyamine).  It came up while randomly searching on youtube.  It is pretty old, and there really is no point to this post, but since it featured Kimberly Lansing and Erica Schoenberg in the same video, I figured it was post-worthy

Does anyone know who this hot girl is from Sky Poker TV?  I think her name is Kara Scott, because that is one of the only announcers names I could find that seemed to match her description.  In her profile on the Sky Poker Website it says that she is from Canada, but this girl seems to have an accent.  Also it says, “Kara Scott trained as a thai boxer, competing 6 times in the ring“, but this girl doesn’t really look like a fighter.

Either way, she is pretty cute and apparently plays poker.

Paris hosted what became a big night for Annette Obrestad, aka Annette_15. Nominated for 3 awards at the European Poker Player awards. She won the award for Best Performance of the year! What an applicable award for this poker phenomenon who now holds another place in poker history.

The World Series of Poker Europe held 3 events for the inaugural year. Of those three, the field was world-class poker competition. Each event was won by a European Poker Professional, instead of the multiple WSOP titled Americans who went to London to defend the hold on the WSOP brand. The greatest surprise came in the main event. With a 1 million GBP guarantee, the event maxed out the number of players around 300. After battling her way through names such as Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth, this incredible young woman proved her focus and talent to the world, by winning the first WSOP Europe Main Event.

Because of her historical win, she now holds 3 titles associated with the WSOP that may be many years, and in one case, laws, to come before they are broken. The first is being the third woman to win a World Series of Poker Open Event. She won the first Main Event Bracelet awarded outside of the United States. The title that will take more than skill to change, it will need laws to change, is that she is now the youngest person to ever win a WSOP bracelet.

Congratulations Annette!

Annette has her own special $212 freezeout tournaments on Betfair Poker at 19:30 UK time on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Brian Townsend’s latest blog entry mentions that he has been on quite a roll playing Pot Limit Omaha since May 1st of this year.  Brian posted that he is up approximately $2 Million dollars on all of his accounts.  Even when the times were tough and Brian was down over $4 Million, he said that his “happiness never changed”.

Shortly after this post, he continued the winning over at Full Tilt Poker on the $200/$400 tables.  Here is one of the hands where his Queens strongly dominate Thomas Wahlroos’ 2 pair.

In an interview with PokerWire, poker hottie Chantal McNulty says that she has gotten some breast implants.  She claims to have gotten Double F’s, though they clearly do not look that big.  You can see the video interview with Chantal here.

Here is a picture of Chantal Mcnulty (possibly post boob job):
