I came across this picture on the Pokerati blog. Jennifer Tilly, the actress who usually plays ditzy characters, is now a hot item with professional poker player Phil (the Unabomber) Laak. Tilly has taken up poker and done quite well for herself, winning the women's event at last year's World Series of Poker and holding her own in many other tournaments since then. They call Laak "the Unabomber" because he wears a hooded sweatshirt and sometimes pulls it over his head so an opponent can't get a read on him. Tilly is now called the Unabombshell. And you've gotta love this belt buckle:
The bottom of it, which you can't make out in the picture, says "Will Kick Your Ass".

Two words sum up last night's poker: high variance. It was truly feast or famine night. I think there were more showdowns that ended with "Holy shit!" than ever before, as good hands got beat by great hands that were slow played time and time again. It started for me almost immediately with pocket…

Why the A7 unsuited on the belt buckle? She should have put a 2,7 offsuit on there -- she'll kick your ass even when she ain't got shit.
The A7 unsuited was the hand she won with at the WSOP, beating Ann Le's KJ when the board blanked. I think that hand is considered her signature hand.
I have always been of the opinion that her sister Meg was the hotter of the two (especially see "The Girl In the Swing") but will have to reconsider now. It's pretty impressive to have the guts to stand behind an A7.
She's welcome to kick my ass anytime, but could she beat a pokerbot?
