Vanessa Rousso breaks hearts and bankrolls.
Maxim magazine has released their list of the top 20 Poker Hotties. Many of the Hollywood celebs on the list turned up at the recent WPT Celebrity Invitational, for at least a few minutes. Where most of the list consists of Hollywood starlets whose pictures we don’t mind staring at, some top female players made list like Vanessa Rousso, Shannon Elizabeth and Jennifer Tilly made the list.
Members on the list have been seen on shows like E!’s Hollywood Hold’em and Bravo’s Celebrity Poker Showdown, but have also played charity events and the WSOP Main Event.
Pros Vanessa Rousso and Tiffany Michelle have the most credible poker credentials on the list with more than $2.5 million in career earnings between them.

Seriously? 20 poker hotties?
There’s 2-3 ‘known’ female poker players here and the rest is just a mix of Hollywood ladies whose poker playing ability isn’t any better of different then the average joe.
To call them “20 poker hotties” is a pretty serious stretch of the imagination.
Yeah this shows maxim’s true disconnect with the actual things they write about… Its more proof they only know what’s selling not what that thing actually is…. There are atleast ten Actual poker players who either play higher than you can imagine or spend more time in the poker world than the average player ever could… Why didnt they start there…
Dude - how can this be drudgery?
Where is Cathy Leibert on this list? At least she can play poker
Where is Erica Schoenberg? Kara Scott? Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh? Not only are they pretty hot, but they are legitimate poker players. Many of these “poker” hotties probably had their publicist call Maxim to put them on the list. Can you imagine that conversation: “Hey, my client is a hottie in Hollywood and she played in A poker tournament. Can she be on the list?”
