WSOP 2005: Former Pretty Boy Gets Bounced
filed under Poker : WSOP 2005
From intrepid on-the-floor reporter Dr. Pauly, flight #2 of the World Series of Poker Main Event is underway, and we have our first casualty.
Since this is effectively the first day of the tournament for the 1800-odd players in the room today, busting out first is an ignominious honor at best. Who better, then, to bear the burden than a washed up actor with a Dawson’s Creek credit on his resume? Oh, we’d bang Oliver Hudson’s sister Kate, even after a couple years with freaky Skeletor weirdo Chris Robinson, and we’d probably still consider popping his mom, former lovely Goldie Hawn. But to us there’s nothing better than seeing a pseudo-celebrity hit the hallway before anyone else today. This validates us as human beings, and is deeply emotionally satisfying.
We’ll give Ben Affleck, James Woods, and Tobey Maguire passes here, but is the World Series of Poker turning into the pasture where non-celebrity celebrities go to die?
