BIG BAD BREAKING BEAUTIFUL NEWS ABOUT THE MAIN EVENT
Monday, June 29, 2009 - Tiffany M
Well, well, well…
My summer in Vegas is coming to a close. “A CLOSE?!?!” you say! Although we have the Main Event coming up this week I am officially announcing… (no, not my retirement! Sorry haters, you’ll be stuck with my finger-french-fry-lickin’-clock-callin’-heel-clickin’-UB-branded-poker-pwning-face for several years to come)… that I won’t be defending my title as The Last Woman Standing or giving that darn final table another crack… at least not this year. GASP!!!
It’d have to be something pretty big to deter me from the WSOP Championship Event this year and trust me, IT IS! I can’t disclose much right now but I’ll be leaving to film a project for a month and it conflicts with the Main Event. Se la vie! I figure that poker isn’t going anywhere and the WSOP Main Event comes around EVERY SINGLE YEAR. This project and my part are very huge and it’s an opportunity is just too good to pass up. At the end of the day, acting and performing have always been my passion, in fact it’s how I fell into poker to begin with and I never want to lose sight of that part of my life and career.
With that said, my 2009 World Series of Poker isn’t over quite yet. Before I leave Vegas I’ll play the Ante Up For Africa tournament which will be one of the televised events on ESPN this year. There are some great celebrities and poker players coming out to play and support the cause and I’m really looking forward to it. Maybe that’ll be my shot at a little WSOP glory this year. I’ll also be around for the start of the Main Event, doing some fun PR stuff as well as some appearances at the Gaming Life Expo… so if you see me please come say “Hi”!
Below are a few fun pictures that I snapped during a fun night or two away from the Rio and poker tables. The first is with Trishelle & Jeff Madsen and the other with Maria Ho and Vanessa Rousso.
