Charlie’s Angel Star Latest Poker Convert
BODY:
Hollywood actors and actresses seem intent on supplementing their
income by becoming poker players, if recent events like Jennifer
Tilly’s two championship wins are any indication. The latest
poker convert is Charlie’s Angels’ Cameron Diaz, who
was taught to play by comedian and television personality Ellen
DeGeneres.
Diaz remembers the night it all started: "I remember the
fateful night as well. I remember the phone call: 'Come over and
play Texas Hold 'Em.' I said, 'I don't know how to play Texas
Hold 'Em.' She was like, 'None of us do, come on over.' "We
sat around a big table. What time did we get done, like four o'clock
in the morning? I took everybody's money that night!"
Her recent second place finish at a tournament shows she has
done more than just learn the game as she tells it: “I took
second, but I did actually win because I never bought back into
the tournament. The guy who beat me bought back in like five times."
