Paris Hilton likes to play POKER!


It must be tough being a Hilton.

Poor little rich girl Paris Hilton has
become quite the poker addict recently. In fact, so addicted, that during one
particular poker game she put her beloved $180,000 bentley GT on the line in
lieu of money. And lost.

So mommy and daddy Hilton have decided to
intervene - and banned her from the Las Vegas Hilton. Strangely I can’t remember
the last time The Las Vegas Hilton was deemed trendy enough for Paris to stay
in. I thought it was The Palms and Hard Rock that attracted those tabloid
favourites. But what do I know…

Poor old Paris is used to winning not losing! She recently said:
"I’m obsessed with poker. It’s my favourite game now. I’m really lucky in Vegas.
I always win."

However, the tables have turned on Paris and she is
learning the hard lesson that the house always wins…even if your parents own
the house.

Of course, never ones to ignore free publicity when
it becomes available, Party Poker have stepped in and offered her a deal she
probably may refuse - play heads-up texas hold’em and win - and she’ll get a
Bentley GT. Then again, as with the online gambling sites, for Paris, any
publicity is great publicity - so maybe she will take the
challenge

George Austin - High Stakes Poker Player

CherryCasino

With an ace-high straight, George Austin was sitting pretty, a poker rookie with
the best hand at a table full of veterans in a $1.3 million
tournament.

One hour into a four-day event, a made-for-TV story line was
developing: Retired electrician stuns the pros and winds up playing for big
money.

But instead of betting aggressively with an unbeatable hand, the
61-year-old Massachusetts man pretended to be weak in hopes of tricking his
opponent into placing a fatally big bet.

It was an amateur move. It gave
his opponent a free card, a card that immediately sent Austin
home.

Moments later, Austin was in an empty hallway, rubbing his forehead
and staring at his polished black shoes as the Foxwoods Poker Classic continued
without him.

"I wasn’t even thinking about a flush," Austin said again
and again.

Austin is one of thousands of hopefuls each year who learn
that the transition from home games, weekend events and Internet sites to
high-stakes tournament poker is harder than it looks.

Buoyed by stories
of amateurs who win millions, tournament registration has soared in recent
years. The World Series of Poker, which attracted fewer than 200 players with a
$755,000 top prize a decade ago, drew 5,600 entries last year and the payday was
$7.5 million.

But while tournaments across the country get richer and
more crowded, the final tables where fortunes are won aren’t getting any bigger.
That means more people than ever are entering with high hopes - and leaving with
nothing.

Perhaps the most famous newbie-turned-millionaire story is Chris
Moneymaker, a 27-year-old accountant who learned to play online, bought into the
2003 World Series for $40 and walked away as its $2.5 million
champion.

"This means anyone in their home can become a poker player,"
tournament spokesman Nolan Dalla declared.

Not so fast, experts say.
True, poker is a game of chance, but it also requires an ability to read people
and calculate odds. Those skills are easy to fake in home games, but the gap
between good players and great players widens over a lengthy
tournament.

Grandmother likes to pkay lottery

Join the Player’s Club with great sign up bonus!

A MISTAKE has won a Sydney grandmother an extra million dollars in Lotto.

The 79-year-old from Dee Why, on Sydney’s northern beaches, accidentally entered the winning numbers twice on her four-game entry in last night’s $21 million Lotto draw.

There were 18 First Division winners in last night’s draw, each of $1,166,666, and the double entry means the grandmother collects two of them, for a total of $2,333,332.

"I still can’t believe I put in those two rows," the woman said today.

"Those are the numbers I’ve been using since Lotto first opened.

"They’d just put out those new entry forms, so I had to put my favourite numbers on the new form. I cannot understand why I put in an extra line.

It’s the first time I’ve ever done it and I don’t even remember even putting it in."

New James Bond can’t play poker

Metro Casino, the online Casino to be!

Daniel Craig continued to disappoint loyal 007 fans when the new Bond revealed
that he was a dud at the poker table. While filming a pivotal gambling scene of
“Casino Royale" Craig’s first foray in the shoes of Bond, producers hit a wall
when they discovered that their leading man was most unfamiliar with the game at
hand, poker.

To give Craig enough poker know-how to film the poker scene,
producers called on British poker player John Duthie to come down to the Berlin
set and teach the cast a little something about the game. Having won close to $3
million at poker, Duthie was deemed a worthy teacher for the new Bond. Craig’s
poker fiasco merely managed to further taint Craig’s reputation among die-hard
Bond fans, after the British actor already admitted that he hated guns, didn’t
favor Martinis, and did not know how to drive Bond’s trademark manual Aston
Martin.
