Shannon Elizabeth Shannon: 2005 Bodog WSOP party Shannon Elizabeth is perhaps best known for steaming up the screen with her performance as a geek-loving foreign exchange student in the American Pie series in the theaters. Lately, however, she has been known for heating up different things - Poker tables. Shannon Elizabeth recently rocked the tables at the GQ and Calvin Klein Annual Celebrity Charity Poker Tournament in May of 2005. The starlet managed to move up to a respectable sixth place overall in the competition with a particularly bad beat and donated her winnings to the Peace Games. The last woman at the final Poker table, Shannon Elizabeth represents a growth market for Poker: women players. Leading online gambling site Bodog.com sponsored Elizabeth's seat in the tournament. Here are a few quotes from Shannon Elizabeth, "I just love playing poker and it's even better to win for charity," Shannon Elizabeth declared. "I'm excited about my newfound relationship with Bodog.com, too; I practice on their site all the time." Shannon Elizabeth has combined her love for the game of Poker with her love for animals by playing in many charity Poker tournaments and giving her winnings to her charity group, Animal Avengers. "It's All Going to the Dogs," is a celebrity Poker night that helped to raise more than $50,000 for Animal Avengers. Shannon Elizabeth founded this charity organization which is dedicated to rescuing and finding homes for homeless pets. Ms. Elizabeth took fourth place in the tournament.

A solid Poker player, Shannon, along with Jennifer Tilly, Mimi Rogers, Daryl Hannah and a few other prominent female Poker players is part of a growing segment of Poker players who are young and female, far from the stereotypical Poker image of the serious, hard drinking old-timers. Helping change the face of Poker by attracting more women to the game is one of the things Shannon has accomplished by her participation and by her successes. Shannon is a regular now at celebrity Poker events, having attended many in the last couple of years, including the World Series of Poker and Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown and has played a big part in bringing women into the game. The most recent betting odds on Lindsay Lohan are out! Bet on how much time Lohan will spend in Jail! Shannon likes to play slow and read the players at the table. She basically learned to play the game in order to enter the Celebrity Showdown Tournament so that she could try to win money for her charity. At first, she disliked the game terribly, but once she got the hang of the subtleness of the game she was hooked, and became a better than decent player. Finishing usually in the higher ranks in most tournaments, she has proven herself to be a formidable opponent. Her innocent looks belie a shrewd and calculating player who will be a dominant force for the foreseeable future. --- by Bones McCoy at 1800-sports.com on July 19, 2007
