Commerce Casino Was the Locus

When the WPT's Celebrity Invitational was happening, the Commerce Casino became the venue for a thousand cameras clicking, spectators clicking (their tongues- either cheering or in disapproval at the play of their idols) and the high-rollers clicking (their hands in action).

A friend of mine recently told me that Jennifer Tilly is probably retired from active poker, as he has not heard her name in any momentous poker competition. Well, I told him about this, this happened not too long ago. While it is not the WSOP, this event has been graced by so many famous people that more papparazzi probably went here than at any WSOP of recent years. After all, take a look at the names who graced the affair: Jennifer Tilly of course, Don Cheadle, Ronnie Turiaf, Montel Williams, Matthew Lillard and MADONNA. Ooops, the last name, strike that one out...where did that come from?

One funny knockout that transpired, Ricki Lane kicked out talk show personality Montel Williams- and believe it or not, my friends and I still talk about this occasionally.

If you want to know who performed excellently, it was the wife of the Master Nguyen (I wonder if she paid him tutorial fees?).
