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.
