Tiffany Michelle joined us at the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event, a day after she had concluded her Day 1A. A sponsored pro at UB.com, Michelle was a reporter doing on the floor interviews for a news site before she made her own splash at the tables. Her main claim to poker fame was her historic run at the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event, as she finished in 17th place. She did not participate in the Main Event in 2009 because she was part of the cast of the CBS reality hit show, The Amazing Race. Her partner was her long time friend and fellow poker pro, Maria Ho.
In this interview Michelle talks about what went on during Day 1A of the Main Event and how thing may not have gone smoothly but she survived the day. She is then asked about how all the young women in poker always bring her up in interviews and if she is actually the president of a secret poker sorority. She admitted that she was, or at the very least, wanted that bit of rumor to be true. Another topic that came up during the interview was some of the events that occurred at the UB WSOP Party which was at the Sky Lounge at the Mandarin Hotel which is part of the Aria / CityCenter complex. She talked about how Trichelle Cannatella professed her undying love for Michelle and was so wasted, planted a “big one” on Michelle before the night was over. They also talked about the famed proposal between a UB prop bet winner and one of the UB Suite booth models.
Unfortunately for Tiffany Michelle, she did not go on the cash at the Main Event, but she had plenty of followers and was extremely courteous to fans for photos and autograph.
