Jennifer Tilly did it again! She won a World Poker Tour event this time. It was their Ladies Night event and it happened a couple of days ago at the Bicycle Casino in California. This was a WPT invitational so the event was restricted. One of the invited players included last year's defending champion, Isabelle Mercier. First place prize in this event was a $25,000 seat into the WPT World Championship at the end of the season. Besides Jennifer and Isabelle, the other competitors included Marsha Waggoner, Cecelia Mortensen, Lilly Elvir, and London Gallagher. The WPT Ladies Night 3 will air Saturday, October 22nd at 8 p.m. EST on the Travel Channel. Jennifer supposedly jumped up from the table when she won the event to became the WPT's Ladies Night 3 champ. It's starting to look like her World Series victory in the Ladies tournament wasn't luck. Jen only started playing poker a year ago and she is the first woman to hold both a WPT title and a WSOP title in women's poker. Jen won the coveted $25,000 buy-in for the WPT Championship next April at the Bellagio. If you didn't know, Ms. Tilly is the girlfriend of professional poker player Phil "The Unabomber" Laak.


1. The lady is zooming halfway to the moon! I am always impressed and amused both at the same time, whenever I read/hear of poker-playing celebrities< making their mark. Tilly is definitely one of those.
