Paris on poker

April 20th, 2006 by Dave

Now might be the time to dump your WPTE stocks, because poker might have reached its saturation point. Here’s exhibit A, from Inside Entertainment:

“I’m obsessed with poker,” confessed celebuntante Paris Hilton after learning the high stakes gambling game. “It’s my favourite game now.”

Paris and her younger sister Nicky are apparently so obsessed with the game they’ve been venturing to Las Vegas to get in on ay action they can find. “We love it,” said Paris. “We play at tournaments.”

Some may say the more money you have, the more you have to lose, but that doesn’t seem to apply to Paris who must have a horseshoe hidden somewhere. “I’m really lucky in Vegas,” she boasts. “I always win!”

Paris Hilton: poker is so hot right now

It must be nice to always win. But wouldn’t it be refreshing to have a celeb poker player tell the camera that they have no idea to play and always lose?
