Thursday 3rd August 2006 ACES Stars Party at WSOP with Lederer, Gordon, Mueller
August 3, 2006 (Las Vegas, NV) – The stars of a sexy new poker movie sponsored by Aces.com partied with poker stars Howard Lederer, Phil Gordon, Lisa Mueller and others last weekend at Lederer’s private WSOP bash. The highlight of the evening was, without a doubt, the karaoke contest that Gordon was particularly determined to win. When Gordon began to peel off his clothing in his effort to win over the judges, Christina Morris, who plays the mischievous “Elle” in ACES the Movie, couldn’t resist.
“I’ve never seen anyone want to win a karaoke contest that bad,” laughed Morris. “When he started wiggling his butt at the crowd I just had to run up and stuff a dollar bill in his underwear waistband!”
Morris was joined at the event by co-star Sheena Chou and Rene Quesada, the Aces.com Manager who invited them to come to Las Vegas, home of Aces.com, for the opening weekend festivities of the WSOP Championship Tournament.
“Sheena and Christina haven’t been back to Vegas since they were shooting the movie here last year,” said Quesada. “After the Lederer party, we ended up at the Venetian where Christina just wanted to dance at Tao night club and Sheena headed straight for the poker tables.”
The rest of the weekend was a series of special appearances, interviews and photo sessions.
“I’ve been playing poker since I was a kid,” said Sheena Chou who plays the spoiled Chinese school girl in ACES the Movie, “And I’ve been playing online poker a lot at Aces.com since we started hosting Wednesday night Free Roll tournaments there. This is my first WSOP though and all I can say is WOW! So many cute poker players, so little time!”
While in Las Vegas, Sheena and Christina recounted their WSOP adventures on their blog: www.acesmovie.blogspot.com where they’ve also posted party photos and numerous snapshots from the WSOP itself.
New Aces.com players as well as tournament and contest winners will receive copies of the ACES the Movie DVD. Contest and tournament details are available at Aces.com/movie. A Texas Hold’em Tutorial featuring ACES star Lacey Toups -- produced as an extra feature on the DVD -- is also now available online at Aces.com.
