Summer Altice – Scorching Hot Poker Girl

Summer Altice Poker


It's not yet summer, but this poker girl is definitely as hot as summer, not because of her name but also because of her beauty and great assets. And she's none other than Summer Altice, one of the most pure, attractive women, sleek frame and playful smile we have laid eyes on. Her poker face do not appear done up or modified to make her look better. She is just exquisite on her own.

Apart from being named Miss August 2000 by Playboy and being cast in The Scorpion King opposite The Rock, Summer Altice is not that famous in mainstream society and this time she goes all-in in poker! Poker girl Summer Altice was once spotted at the MAXIM Magazine Rock & Roll Poker Tournament at the Wynn Resort last April 7, 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The stunning brunette - who was a Playboy playmate before moving into acting Summer Altice had the choice to be a pro volleyball player or a model. Summer Altice then went to San Diego State University in the spring of 1997 where she signed with the San Diego Aztecs women’s volleyball team as an outside hitter. Summer was the star hitter with the potential future of playing professionally. And more than an awesome athlete with a beautiful body and a gorgeous face, Summer was also a bright student, studying communications at UCSD, and earning her way into the All-WAC (Western Athletic Conference) Academic team as a sophomore in 1999 for her athletic and academic achievements.

However, Summer Altice then transferred to UCLA in 2000 and continued her education in communications and journalism, while furthering her modeling career. She chose the latter, and it's safe to say that it worked out for the best – a model and a hot poker player. After seeing her spreads in GQ, Maxim, FHM, and Play..boy, there is no doubt that this girl is as hot as her name. After a successful modeling stint, Altice decided that acting was her true calling and she appeared in 2002's blockbuster, The Scorpion King, alongside The Rock. You can also catch her in two upcoming movies, which are still untitled.

Certified girl on poker and playboy playmate Summer Altice served as tabloid fodder when she was alleged to have caused the split between Helen Hunt and Hank Azaria when she frolicked poolside with the latter at a party. The rumor was soon squashed when it was revealed that Summer was in fact dating Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and Craig David. The relationship endured longer than most expected but alas, Summer Altice has since found a new beau in Hollywood hunk Vin Diesel.

Kitty Lea – Sexy Poker Chic

Kitty Lea Poker


More and more hot poker babes are getting involved to poker, nowadays. Some of them are playing just for fun while others are taking it seriously as their way to make money. Like Kitty Lea, a multi-talented girl from Lincoln UK. Kitty Lea is a model, actress and a DJ and now one of the newest sexy poker chic in the industry making her own money.

Kitty Lea was first introduced to poker through her ex-boyfriend, who is actually a professional poker player. Kitty likes to play poker as often as her schedule allows, or when she is in the mood: “I don’t want to be playing when I’m tired and grumpy as I will just end up losing,” Kitty Lea says.

In an interview about Kitty Lea and her interests in poker at PokerNews, she talks about being so gaga at the game of poker and how she deals the game with other guys:

If you could meet any poker player in the world dead or alive who would it be and what would you say to them?
Kitty Lea: Hahaha I guess id meet my ex and challenge him and hopefully thrash him!

What do you wear to play poker and do you find it affects your game?
Kitty Lea: Well last time I did my live game I was wearing a very nice dress and considering it was a room full of guys you can imagine it turned some heads.

Have you or would you ever play strip poker?
Kitty Lea: Actually I haven’t but I’m very keen to start, any offers?

If you were stranded on a desert island what three items would you take with you?
Kitty Lea: Shampoo? Haha errr well there would be no electric, oh a toothbrush! And a bottle of vodka .

Do you find it harder or easier when it is all men at the poker table apart from you?
Kitty Lea: Well it’s more fun!

Who in your opinion is the hottest poker player male or female?
Kitty Lea: hahah no comment!

Does being good looking make people behave differently to you when playing poker? ....and do they assume you're not as smart as them?
Kitty Lea: Well I’m sure I have all of that to come in time. If it makes me win then I’m all for it, other wise I might have to grow a beard and shave my hair off. And often in online poker I find people think I’m a total idiot so its fun taking their money. It’s like one great big power trip I never want to end. And hopefully with time it won't!

Sara Underwood – Playmate Poker Babe

Sara Underwood Poker



A model, actress and a TV host, but now Sara Underwood is focusing mainly on the game poker. This hot poker girls was the 2007 Playboy Playmate of the Year after featuring as Playmate of the Month in 2006 as the Pac 10 girl from Oregon State. She has appeared in several movies and hosts various projects on G4 TV. She is now representing Victory Poker, and being trained by their high powered pro team to fast track her poker education. Originally from Scapoose, Oregon, she now splits time between LA and Las Vegas.

She first modeled for VictoryPoker.net in an advertising campaign and soon became a member of Team Victory. After playing in a Texas hold ‘em charity tournament, the model and actress decided she wanted to learn the finer points of the game. She is currently training with Team Victory members Keith Gipson, Andrew Robl and others.

Sara Underwood placed fourth in her first online poker tournament. “I obviously had very good teachers, because I’m doing very well.”

Poker playmate Sara Underwood, who needs a few credits for her bachelor’s degree in business marketing from Oregon State University, said she relishes the challenge of playing poker against world-class pros, and the chance to put her brain to work. “I want to be known as a professional poker player who can hold my own at the top with some of the best,” she said. “I think the key is just really hard work. I’m just going to throw myself in it. There are no short cuts.”

When she’s not playing poker, Sara Underwood pursues a burgeoning film and television career and she recently co-founded hottiegram.com, a site that allows visitors to send customized video messages from Sara and other models. She’s frequently seen on the G4 television network, where she recently hosted a behind-the-scenes special called “Women of Ninja Warrior,” in which athletes compete on a grueling fitness course. She even tried out the course herself against female Japanese athletes.

In October 2009, Sara Underwood wrapped up filming her starring role in “Zellwood,” a horror movie set in the Florida Everglades. Her previous film credits include “House Bunny” and “Epic Movie.” Her favorite charity is the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA.

In an interview of PokerCurious.com, Sara Underwood talks about her new passion and how dealt with dozens of guys at the poker table:

In terms of poker, can we expect to see big things from you in the future?
Sara Underwood: Big things in the poker world are definitely in my future. You don't get the top notch training I have been getting, and put in the time that I have put in, to be unsuccessful at poker.

Have you been able to learn a thing or two from the pro players on the Victory Team?
Sara Underwood: The Victory Poker team has been training me like crazy, specifically Andrew Robl, Keith Gibson, and The Maven. I owe everything I know to them.

Any useful tips you can share for other aspiring players?
Sara Underwood: Just that there is so much to learn, and that it can seem overwhelming at times, but don't give up it will all become clear with time and LOTS of practice. I have been reading the volumes of Dan Harrington's Harrington on Hold'em. They are great books and I recommend them to aspiring players as a jumping off point.

Do you find other players intimidated by you at the table or perhaps distracted? Can you use this to your advantage?
Sara Underwood: I think guys definitely play different against me, but the advantages I have as being a young women at a poker table are just as great as the disadvantages, so I think it evens itself out. Some guys like having me around I think, simply because you spend so much time at that one table and it's nice to have someone of the opposite sex around, so they might be less likely to call me and just fold. But on the other hand guys also feel like they can push me around with big raises or re-raises (which they can't :)) so being me definitely has its advantages and disadvantages at the poker table.

Serinda Swan – Absolute Poker Face

Serinda Swan Poker


Next on the list of girls is a very well recognized and admired face on the poker industry. A professional model and actress from West Vancouver, British Columbia - Serinda Swan, the hot poker girl from an online poker site, Absolute Poker.

Serinda started her successful acting career when she was only three years old and continued until she was seven. She landed her first role when her mother, who was also an actress, was trying out for a part. As her mother tried to land the role, Swan was crying in the waiting room. Her tears grabbed the attention of director Joel Shumacher, who handpicked her for a role in Cousins with Ted Danson and Isabella Rossellini. Serinda fell the acting bandwagon shortly after and didn’t go back until she was 19, which is when she started to seriously get involved in the industry.

So far, Swan’s acting career has mostly consisted of television ads and guest appearances. In 2006, she was in a Milky Way commercial. She has also been in commercials for Macy’s, Much Music, and more. In addition, she has made guest appearances on the television shows Supernatural, Blood Ties, Exs and Ohs, and the Best Damn Poker Show. In 2005, she landed a small roll in an Australian film called Neal ‘n Nikki and she is the star of a made-for-television movie entitled Beyond Lock Ness.

As a model, her career received a major boost when she was selected to be “the new face of Guess Watches” in 2007. The subsequent international marketing campaign helped her land her deal with Absolute Poker. With measurements of 34-24-35 on a 5’8”, 119 pound frame, Swan is certainly more than just another pretty face. She also has an amazing body to go along with it.

As an integral part of the Absolute Poker marketing campaign, Swan can be found in advertisement videos and commercials for the site. She's not just a pretty face on the poker scene, however, as she is also an avid poker player. Even Swan is only new to the game, she has taken her game very seriously. In fact, she has gone through a poker boot camp and has received lessons from professional poker players such as Phil Hellmuth and Mark Seif.

Serinda Swan can be found playing at the online poker site regularly. She usually plays at the $1/$2 No-Limit Hold’em table under the name “Serinda Swan.” No-Limit Hold’em is her game of choice and, although she is certainly establishing herself as a name in the poker room, Swan still admits that she needs more practice. In addition to playing against her, players can chat with her as well. Be warned, however, that she regularly blogs about these interactions. The blog can be read by visiting the players’ lounge, which also features a photo gallery of the model.

The 600 were called to appear in front of the 6-member jury, who chose 80 from them for an interview. Then 23 where chosen to go to a 2-week-long preparation camp, at the end of which only 21 girls remained. We had to say goodbye to 2 candidates there, who the jury found the least appropriate for the queen position. The final was held with a fascinating and spectacular TV show, with a new jury, who gave scores in 3 different categories: swimwear, evening gown, and after these, the 5 ‘best’ finalists had to answer the jury’s questions live, in the TV show.

Lacey Jones is not just a professional poker player, but she can also be tagged as a model, celebrity and poker hostess. Thus, she's very popular on all over the poker world and no doubt she’s one of the most beautiful girls on poker, as her nickname of “The Poker Barbie” will attest.

This hot poker girl is a proud Texan, from San Antonio, was born in April 9, 1979. Lacey Jones’ parents divorced when she was seven, and when her father moved away to Las Vegas, she remained with her mother and sister in Texas. She got her start in poker during summer vacations at the family home in North Carolina, where they often played various card games to pass the time. Initially though, poker was just her hobby.

As a young girl, Lacey was tall and extremely pretty, so friends and family encouraged her to try modeling. She eventually took their advice and accepted her first modeling job at the age of 10.
She excelled as a model at the age of 16, and she received an offer to go to Hong Kong and Japan. She turned it down on the advice of her father, however, as he suggested that an education was more important. She attended the University of Arizona to study French and Political Science. During her college years, Lacey not only tended bar for extra money, she also sought out any poker home game she could find and honed her skills at the expense of her fellow classmates.

Lacey Jones is already engaged on the game of poker when she was a child. Her family taught her how to play poker during their vacations at her families beach house. Lacey Jones’ passion for poker continued through high school and college, and she soon found herself taking frat boys’ money at the University of Arizona.

Lacey Jones' biggest break was when she first entered the poker scene while playing in a major tournament which was aired on ESPN. She was initially supposed to be a poker model for the tournament and some eye candy, but she played far better than expected. She ended up placing in the tournament and this was the start of her playing career.

After wards, she was approached about a sponsorship deal with Absolute Poker, and she was paired with Mark Self to learn the finer points of the game. The training paid off, and Lacey Jones cashed in three tournaments in 2006. She also started competing in the World Series of Poker in 2005, and she’s been participating every year since. When she plays in the WSOP, Lacey prefers Razz and Seven-Card Stud.
