Shannon Elizabeth:
Celebrity Poker Player

Poker Celebrity Shannon Elizabeth was in good company at the 2005 World Series of Poker, where after surviving day1 by being daring, fell in day2 along with the 2003 WSOP champion Chris Moneymaker.

She went all-in holding a pair of Jacks, while the other hands were AK and Pocket Rockets. "I knew it would be a bad call," said Shannon Elizabeth, who handled herself very well during the tourney, "but I was low on chips. What else could I do?"

Shannon also rocked the tables at GQ and Calvin Klein's 2nd Annual Celebrity Charity Poker Tournament on Thursday May 5th. She ended up a very respectable 6th in the tournament and donated her winnings to the Peace Games. Leading online gambling site Bodog.com sponsored Elizabeth's seat in the tournament.

The last woman at the final table, Elizabeth was knocked out on an especially bad beat. With pocket Jacks, professional poker player Chip Jett called her all-in with K-7 off-suit and drew a King on the turn.

Shannon Elizabeth Salutes the Troops!

A two-day charity event in a tropical island paradise to thank the men and women of the United States Military Services and benefiting the military charity Fisher House Foundation.
