Catgirl banned from Nudity at the PartyPoker World Open
2008-04-28 Barry Carter
The poker world slowly seems to be becoming more and more associated with scantily clad attractive young women (See this month's item on Abi Titmuss for example) so it didn't come as too big a surprise when our good friend Catman sent us a press release featuring his better half Catgirl wearing little more than a smile. He assures us he would be more than happy to do the same to redress the balance.
Up and coming player 'Catgirl' is used to setting tongues wagging in the poker world. Ask anyone who saw the 23 year old Russian contortionist when she met Doyle Brunson last year at the WSOPE. In celebration of her birthday this week, she had planned on playing in the Party Poker World Open in her
'birthday suit'. Unfortunately Channel 5 enforced a 'no nudity' policy at the final hour and instead it was to be a full body paint outfit for her heat.
It was probably a good thing in retrospect, her heat included Surinder Sunar, Liam Flood, World Series of Poker Europe Runner Up John Tabatabai, and Ian Woodley, all of whom we are sure would have acted perfect gents. We are not sure, however, about the Devilfish, who is also in the heat.
In the words of Catman "This heat is going to bring a new dimension of glamour to TV poker, which can often be dominated by not quite so attractive male poker faces. Who wouldn't want to watch the flushing face of the Devilfish as he tries to get a read on Catgirl's body language, then tries to bluff this lady in the buff, this will be must watch TV Poker."
Catgirl said, "I've played poker for two years now and have had a lot of success in high stakes cash. Poker is about entertainment as well being a very serious business, I want to go forward as a professional player, so why not give the world something to talk about - There is a lot at stake, but I want to have some fun and if it is my lucky day, then the sky's the limit. I am grateful to my sponsors Poker Trillionfor giving me this opportunity, I am playing to win."
We are yet to see if the Catgirl's choice of attire is the ace up her sleeve she needs or if the Devilfish will literally explode trying to control himself. Poker Trillion CEO Andy Pryah commented "Catgirls heat is like a who's who of poker, she's going to need to have all her talent on display if she's going to take down this table", Pyrah continued to comment, "Let's just hope the likes of Flood and Devilfish don't decide to go topless!"
