Poker players join the Amazing Race TV show

Posted by Curtis Mayfield III on Monday, September 28, 2009 - 15:08

Poker players Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho have joined the TV show "The Amazing Race." You probably remember Tiffany Michelle from her appearances as a hostess for various online poker news sites. She also went deep into the WSOP Main Event a couple of years ago for a nice cash. The same goes for Maria Ho. She too went deep in that same WSOP event with Michelle.

Apparently these two decided to forgo this years WSOP and participate on the reality show. So how does this play out for the poker world? I'm not sure. John Robert-Bellande did the survivor show and had a decent showing but nothing that would catapult him into stardom. Annie Duke did "Celebrity Apprentice" and got down to the final two. However, Duke didn't do much to quash her reputation for being overly chatty and bossy despite playing the game well.

Only time will tell how Michelle and Ho will comport themselves and how their personalities project on TV.

Stay tuned!
