Lacey Jones, new face of the CPT

I'll just post the press release:

Lacey Jones To Be The “New Face” of the Canadian Poker Tour

February 1, 2010


CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 1, 2010/-- The Canadian Poker Tour (CPT) owned and operated by HeadsUp Entertainment International Inc. (STOCK SYMBOL: HDUP.PK) is pleased to announce that it has signed Poker pro Lacey Jones as the “new face” of the CPT. Recently voted the “hottest girl in poker”, Lacey will be featured on the cover of the upcoming issue of Canadian Poker Player Magazine as well as having a pictorial spread and feature. That issue is scheduled to hit poker rooms across the country in February.

The deal was set when Lacey and CPT President Kelly Kellner met in Costa Rica in November 2009 at the CPT/WPS Costa Rica Challenge. “Here is a girl that loves hockey, loves Canadian beer and is an amazing poker player to top it off. I told her she has been picked up off waivers and claimed by Canada and the CPT’, stated Kellner. “We believe that by having Lacey attend many of our events and the fact that she is about to move to Vancouver, the partnership couldn’t be stronger.”

With female poker players in CPT tournaments on the decline over the past 2 years, the CPT believes that having a strong female role model will attract the female player base back to live tournament action and that she will be a strong draw for the player base in general. Lacey will also be featured on the new online poker television network, Canadian Poker Player Television, about to be launched by the Company. Full details on the network launch will released soon.

“I truly love Canadians and am so happy to be a part of the Canadian Poker Tour”, stated Lacey. Having recently played at the 2010 CPT Kickoff Poker Series, Lacey will be returning to Canada for the Winter Freezeout to held at Cash Casino in Calgary, February 24 through February 28, 2010.

    I think she spent her money on a "couple" other things.....
  • Maybe she should spend a few $$$ and alter one other prominent feature, too. I mean, if you're going for the makeover, why stop half-way?

  • Am still considered to be shallow if we all noticed her butter face?

    ummmm face??
    oh yea, there it is
  • She keeps up with the guys partying and doesn't act at all like a diva. You guys are gonna like throwing chips with her. Quiet at the table and not at all hard to look at. Just don't get too distracted, she goes to play.

    The event at the cash has 2 start days of 200, $770 buy in, gonna be a good one.
  • She's so hot OM NOM NOM
  • [x]came
    [ ] sat quietly after glancing at those pics.
  • I swear she looks familiar to me...

    BUTTER face. As in everything on her is incredible but her face. Hence Butter face. I actually agree she's damn hot, I just look for any opportunity to use my really lame joke. I'm quite fond of it.
  • Mr Graham did a great job of reporting this here:
    Lacey Jones Loves Canadians!
  • Damn, you haters must be gorgeous to be throwing stones at her.. Would you rather Annie Duke.

    What are you trying to say? I'd do Annie. Lacey in heartbeat but Annie if she wanted to be my sugar mommy.
  • The great thing about Annie is she is smart and like a teacher, if you didn't get it right she would make you do it over and over until you got it right.

    I would make such a good student.
  • How does this impact Mike Johnson and Adam Schwartz?

    Are they still going to be doing analysis?
  • Nice to see the CPT actually doing something at least. She can only help.
  • sub'd for newdz.

    Any particular reason you won't answer my question?
  • Sorry, I get booting around a little too quick sometimes and missed your question. I don't think it affects Adam at all and I don't know the other gentleman unfortunately. Lacey did more of an interview style while Adam definately calls a spade a spade straight up from what I have seen of his work. From what I gather Adam is often doing rakebake stuff or can be at any given place in the world at any given time.

    So my best answer is there is room for everyone involved still and a place where they best fit. Don't see anything changing but I'll ask the boss for a better answer next time we talk.
