Poker is officially our new favourite pastime.
But we are not talking about just playing it ? watching it can be just as good.
Now, TV programmes dedicated to featuring fat, balding men with crap monikers like ‘Pretty Boy’ and ‘Cardshark’ leering over their cards at each other may not seem like a good night’s entertainment. And you would be right.
But have you seen some of the hot women on the circuit? Poker? You bet we would.? Play your cards right and you would losing more than your shirt ? and love every minute of it. We had no idea poker was so sexy.
And it gave us an idea for another list. Just who are there hottest girls on the circuit?
Well, here is our royal flush.
17. Kathy Griffin
Kinda funny, kinda sexy and not bad at cards either.
16. Isabelle Mercier
Prior to turning to a poker career, she earned an undergraduate law degree from the Universit? de Montr?al and practiced commercial law for a year. Brains and beauty.
15. Evelyn Ng
The 33-year-old Canadian is yet to win a major tournament. Look, we never said they had to be any good ? just look good.
14. Anna Benson
Better known as the pretty but potty wife of former Mets pitcher Kris Benson, Anna has become a regular on the poker circuit after an anonymous fan fronted her the $10,000 entry fee for the WSOP Main Event.? She’s even launched her own site ? unfortunately it’s a poker site.
13. Cindy Margolis
OK, so links to poker are pretty dubious for the once most downloaded women on the net. But US glamour model Cindy recently launched her own poker room, where you can apparently go head-to-head with her.? There is a joke there somewhere.
12. Joanna Krupa
This Polish-born beauty, who has graced the covers of Playboy, Maxim, FHM, and Trump magazines, is the new face of Titan Poker. Now that’s what I call an advert.
11. Jennifer Leigh
Jennicide recently appeared fully nude in Playboy. Oh, and she’s pretty good with cards too.
10. Courtney Friel
Fox entertainment reporter Friel is well known to the poker community after hosting season four of the World Poker Tour television series. Mmmmmm, she makes us Friel good.
9. Chantel McNulty
You really would find it hard to concentrate on your cards when you have this 22-year-old Texan’s enhanced boobs staring back at you.
8. Erica Schoenberg
Rumour has it that Erica appeared topless in Carmen Electra’s Strip Poker DVD. Well, if anyone has a copy could they send it to us?
7. Brandi Hawbaker
Sometime movie star Brandi is also rumoured to be a stripper from Las Vegas. Anyone for strip poker?
6. Clonie Gowen
Professional poker player from Texas that we’d all like to play our cards right with.
5. Andrea Parker
An American TV actress, also famous for making Julia Roberts‘ body look slightly better, is a regular on the celebrity poker tour.
4. Marianela Pereyra
We would love some Argy-bargy with Buenos Aires-born model Marianela, who was NBC’s superb choice for Poker After Dark season three.
3. Layla Kayleigh
Season six host of the World Poker Tour’s televised circuit and British to boot. Get in there.
2. Jennifer Tilly
A serious poker hottie with career winnings in excess of $450,000, Tilly, of course, will always have a place in our hearts for such fine films as Bound and, errrr, Bride of Chucky.
1. Shannon Elizabeth
Who would not like a piece of this American Pie?? Her poker credentials? Well, actually she finished in the money at four separate WSOP events, and was also third on NBC’s National Heads-Up Poker Championship, taking home $120,000. Or so it says here.
Special award:
Hottest girl who once played poker very badly on Sky Poker.

Maybe this explains the new “Latest Gambling News” feed on the front page. I mean seriously, gambling news? Don’t you feel you’ve whored yourselves just a little too completely with that one? Now I’m worried about catching the bus home in case I see the ‘spray servicing a stranger for bus fare.
Bus Patron says
One of the finest
Jen says
FYI – Brandi Hawbaker committed suicide about 2 years ago. Maybe a little research would have been in order before publishing this list.
Fifth Street Journal says
This list is a mess: one girl is dead and another has the wrong name.
muja says
brandi is dead
anonymous says
Brandi is dead …suicide Apr 2008.
do your homework David.
Sam says
You really should remove Brandi from the list. She committed suicide quite some time ago.
