Jenny Woo's Top 10 Sexiest Poker Players: Number 4 - Shannon Elizabeth

You have a boy's first name and your last name is a girl's first name.  You've caused more wrist injuries than carpal tunnel syndrome.  And somehow, some way, God managed to squeeze the four "p's" into you:  Pretty Poker Playing Pie girl with talents that only I thought I had all rolled up into one.  Notice I didn't say anything about Doyle Brunson's p***er.  God made that too...way back when he made Adam.

This American Pie diva probably wouldn't even know where to find pie crust in her local super market yet all the other ingredients are firmly in place: Sweet personality, sex kitten looks, acting talent, dancing skills and her best trait of all is none of the above......it's her top notch poker playing skills.  

This year, Shannon made us all proud by donning her dancing shoes and participating in ABC's smash dance competition Dancing With the Stars, where she was among the last to be voted off.  Shannon is rumored to have moved in with her dance partner on the show. 

Shannon has quite the mix in her.  Lebanese, English, Irish, German, and Cherokee....and that was just last night

Just kidding, just kidding.  You know we love you Shannon and my finger is still hurting from voting for you a hundred plus times each week on Dancing With the Stars.

Ms. Elizabeth, who describes poker as her "second career" has been called "one of the leading celebrity poker players." She visits Las Vegas up to three times each month to participate in poker games with the top players of the United States. Elizabeth played in the Main Event of the 2005 World Series of Poker and won a special tournament celebrating the opening of a new poker room at Caesars Palace hotel in January 2006, beating out 83 celebrities and poker professionals to win $55,000. She has also cashed four times in the World Series of Poker in 2006 and 2007, but again busted out of the Main Event early. In 2007, she advanced to the semi-finals of the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship in a field consisting of the top poker professionals before losing to eventual champion Paul Wasicka. Among the four opponents she defeated were three World Series of Poker multiple bracelet winners: Jeff Madsen, Barry Greenstein, and Humberto Brenes.
