AUTHOR: Jerry "Jet" Whittaker TITLE: WSOP Playboy Charity Poker Tourney DATE: 10:57 AM ----- BODY: The tournament, held at the Playboy Mansion Saturday night during the
Milwaukee's Best Light annual beer distributors party, included notable pros
such as Phil Gordon, Annie Duke, Robert Williamson III, Phil Laak, Jeff
Madsen, Jamie Gold and Jenn Tilley. Other notable figures at the tables
included Playboy Playmates Deanna Brooks and Julie Cialini, Los Angeles ESPN
radio hosts David Singer and Kevin Kiley, and actors Shannon Elizabeth and
C. Thomas Howell. Two Miller distributors were given the once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to compete against the all-star poker lineup - Eric Dowling made
an early exit, but Tom Fonz battled his way to the final five players.
"Milwaukee's Best Light and Playboy are a perfect partnership since both
brands promote men acting like men," said Chad Dern, Brand Manager.
"Throwing a party at the Playboy Mansion for the top Milwaukee's Best Light
distributors is the ultimate reward, and then giving two of them a chance to
play poker against some of the best pros was a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for them." --------
