Like Paris Hilton, who not only lights up the table but seems to have one of the funnier poker faces has on several occasions tried her hand at playing poker.
As a celebrity, Paris Hilton has played poker to help raise money for charitable foundations. Though she probably will not be winning any World Series of Poker bracelets anytime soon, Paris Hilton has contributed to poker by increasing the exposure of poker into pop culture.
Some time ago, model, actress, singer Paris Hilton confessed being obsessed with Poker. She has been playing poker at LA tournaments with her sister Nicky Hilton from almost a month and admitted being lucky in Vegas. However it seems that her lucky streak has expired now, gambled away her Bentley GT at her own casino.
Ironically the casino and hotel is named after the heiress but her parents have banned her from Paris Hotel and have asked her to seek help to come out of the addiction. Paris Hilton has agreed to stay away from the famous bunch of casinos but has taken up internet gambling now.
The hotel heiress was devastated after losing the $170,000.00 car during a Las Vegas tournament, however online poker site PartyPoker now wants her to take part in a "heads-up" challenge against professional player Mike Sexton.
In 2006, PartyPoker, which is owned and operated by the publicly traded firm Party Gaming, offered Paris Hilton a chance to recoup a Bentley that she allegedly lost in a game of poker. The luxury car in question was a Continental GT, but Hilton failed to take the then-world’s largest online poker room up on its offer. Hilton quickly became the centerpiece of the poker world, albeit for a brief time period. A statement released by PartyPoker.
"We're aware that her parents have banned her from gambling in a casino, This online challenge solves all her problems - she can cover her losses without stepping foot in there." "Forget one night in Paris, we're offering her one night to win her wheels back."
“It is reported that in January this year Paris met Lady Gaga but she didn’t show the pop sensation her poker face. We encourage her to not walk on eggshells and show it to Mike Sexton instead!” the PartyPoker spokesperson stated.
The 25-year-old celebrity, model, poker star developed her penchant for gambling after spending the last few months playing poker in Las Vegas tournaments with her sister Nicky.
“I’m obsessed with poker. It’s my favorite game now. I’m lucky in Vegas. I always win.” Paris Hilton revealed.
There are plenty of stories featuring quotes from Paris saying how much she loves playing poker and is obsessed with it.
Despite the jokes at her expense, no famous face hides her feelings as well as the blonde entertainer and front-page party girl. Many may not know that Paris Hilton has become quite entrenched in the world of poker these days, following in the footsteps of hundreds of other celebrities.
