Anna Benson appeared in 2011 on the VH1 reality TV show Baseball Wives. She has also acted as a poker commentator and occasionally plays the game herself.
No doubt the folks over at WickedChopsPoker.com must be shaking in their boots right about now. Rest assured she probably hasn’t forgotten you folks!!!!! (sigh)
Ms. Benson once contacted the Gambling911.com website expressing her vitriol for WCP and its “antics”, which included referring to the one time Baseball wife as a “bitch”.
"WickedChopsPoker are nobodies, the site is garbage. Gambling911.com is a respected website," a crying Anna said in a phone call to the G911 site, noting that her young children had read some of the vicious comments.
Brazen home invasions involving poker players is nothing new as 2010 World Series of Poker champ Jonathan Duhamel was recently a victim of one such robbery. His ex-girlfriend has since been charged with breaking into Duhamel’s suburban Montreal home, beating him up and stealing his prized gold bracelet. She was sentenced last month to a 3 year prison term.
