In the world of sponsored poker players, actress Shannon Elizabeth is something like an NBA journeyman……she has bounced around numerous sites without any luck in finding a permanent home. And this is no doubt strange considering the fact that she’s had a few solid poker tournament finishes along with her appearances in American Pie, Scary Movie, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
However, it seems like she has finally found a home at Carbon Poker after being signed by the poker room. Carbon signed Elizabeth earlier this week, and is already being plastered on the front page of the site. This is interesting timing considering how Elizabeth was accused of running illegal poker games by celebrity gossiper Perez Hilton (see here).
Obviously Carbon wasn’t worried about the gossip spewing from Hilton’s site as they still signed her, and already have plans to use her as the face of their room. She’s writing for their blog, and is supposed to be in some of the tournaments that the site is running.
Now that Shannon is a member of Carbon Poker, she will be representing them in the World Series of Poker Main Event. With 4 WSOP cashes under her belt, there is a chance that she’ll do well in the world’s largest poker tourney; she also placed 3rd in the NBC National Heads-up Championship and earned a nice $125,000 paycheck.
Even if Elizabeth doesn’t end up going deep into the WSOP Main Event, it appears as if she has a bright future ahead of her at Carbon. No longer will she have to roam the world of poker sponsorships looking for a home.
