Jennifer Tilly is the perfect example of a poker hottie, as she’s both an Oscar-nominated actress and World Series of Poker bracelet winner. Having been voted as one of the “25 Sexiest Women in Hollywood” by Celebrity Sleuth, the curvy Tilly is equally famous for her little girl voice, impressive cleavage and outstanding poker skills.
Jennifer Tilly was involved in a number of poker tournaments, but most assumed she was just another celebrity poker player dabbling in the game. Those opinions quickly changed when Tilly won a World Series of Poker bracelet in June of 2005. The win came during the Ladies’ No-Limit Texas Hold’em event, and walked away with $158,625 in winnings after outlasting a field of over 600 players.
Three months later, she won the World Poker Tour Ladies Invitational Tournament in Los Angeles. She has since competed on Celebrity Poker Showdown, Poker Royale, Poker Superstars, Pro-Am Poker Equalizer and the Ultimate Blackjack Tour. In February of 2008, she placed 12th in the WPT No Limit Hold’em Championship, which was good enough to win $61,610. Her live tournament winnings are now in excess of $450,000.
Jennifer Tilly take advantages of an aggressive style that can be daunting. She manage to do well in tournament play. She’s an exceptionally intelligent celebrity gone sexy poker hottie who uses her smarts in a sagacious manner. She’s gone from being a celebrity poker player to a professional in a relatively short amount of time. And she’s gone from being a professional into retirement in an even shorter amount of time.
Tilly has become a regular face at major poker tournaments, and this hot female poker player is highly respected for her play. Her acting career now takes a backseat to poker, and she’s even dating poker pro Phil “Unabomber” Laak, who is 14 years her junior. Due to their relationship, many on the circuit simply refer to her as “The Unabombshell.”
Expect to see Jennifer around the poker rooms a lot more in the future. She said, "I'm hooked on poker. I'm not going to stop playing until I lost all my money."
