Model & poker personality Lacey Jones joins Absolute Poker’s growing stable
Less than two weeks after bringing poker superstar Matt Vengrin on board as its newest pro, Absolute Poker’s pro lineup is looking hotter than ever. The online poker site today announced that celebrated poker player and drop-dead gorgeous model Lacey Jones has signed on to represent the brand.
“I’m so excited about this amazing new chapter of my career with Absolute Poker,” stated Lacey Jones. “Our fit couldn’t be more perfect and I can’t wait to share all of the amazing stuff that’s in store with the AP community.”
Lacey Jones began her poker career with ESPN in 2005 when she was hired as a model to play in a charity poker tournament. Out of a field of 360 players, Lacey finished 32nd, proving that her game was about more than just good looks.
Since then she has gone on to secure a number of strong finishes, including cashing at the World Series of Poker and finishing 2nd in the 2004 San Diego Super Bowl of Poker. If Lacey Jones looks familiar to online poker players at Absolute Poker, they’re not imagining things. Jones has appeared on the hit HBO series Entourage as well as Fox Television’s The O.C. and the hit NBC series Las Vegas.
In 2008, Lacey was voted the hottest woman in poker by Wicked Chops Poker. That same year, she graced the cover of Bluff Magazine and appeared as a live commentary on-camera hostess for the WSOP. Lacey was also the co-host of The Real Deal at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.
