    Welcome to 2007! Poker stars Clonie Gowen, Barry Greenstein, and others promote "Dealio Poker", a webcam poker site

    On my trip to Vegas last week, I happened to be in the company of late 2000s poker figure Anna Wroblewski, whom I had heard of in the past, but never met before.

    She showed me a new poker app called "Dealio Poker", which is in development, but hasn't been released yet. It's a poker app where everyone is on webcam, which has been done before (and failed to catch on), but apparently this is a 2021 version and they're giving it another go. (To be fair, the previous attempt was by another company.)

    To my shock, the demo of Dealiopoker included 2000s poker figure Clonie Gowen, whom I figured was out of the game permanently, as of about 10 years ago!

    Also involved is Barry Greenstein, another huge 2000s poker figure who has hit upon hard times as of late. Justin Hammer, former Commerce tournament director who was apparently fired and moved on to a Texas cardroom, is also involved. Anna herself is also involved with the project.

    Here's a livestream demo of it from last week:




    Will this catch on? Who knows? I have to imagine it's play money, and not real money. But funny to see Clonie back.

    It sounds pretty desperate but the poker personalities that got us into the game are still that.

    Just like a reunion tour of a favourite band age doesn't hurt the product in most cases

    LOL. Bottom left is Shannon Elizabeth.

    She moved to South Africa a few years ago.

    She now makes money from selling jewelry, donations to her non-profit foundation and from doing an occasional movie. Not very much from poker.

    I had such a weird interaction with her at the WSOP in 2009 or so.

    I was playing some event, and my seat backed up against a stage in the Amazon room. Sitting on that stage was a closed can of Diet Coke.

    I hear a female voice behind me, asking, "Excuse me, is this your soda?"

    I looked back, and it was Shannon Elizabeth.

    "What did you want to know?", I asked, being very confused.

    "Is this Diet Coke yours?", she asked, pointing to it.

    "Ummm... no, it's not mine," I replied. "I don't know whose it is. It was just sitting here when I got to my seat."

    "Well, can I take it?", she asked.




    "Yeah, go ahead, I don't think it belongs to anyone here," I answered.

    She took the warm Diet Coke can and left.




    When I saw "American Pie" in the late '90s, this wasn't the interaction I expected to have 10 years later with the hot exchange student.

    Tough look for Barry Greenstein. Never struck me as one to go broke.

    LOL Clonie Gowen. What a testament to what poker once was that a blonde who won one ladies night event could ever become marketable.

    Funny - I had a run in with S Elizabeth at the 2009 WSOP as well.

    Binions would run a 1/10th sized tournament the day before the WSOP. So if the $1500 Omaha ran tomorrow they would run a $150 Omaha event. I figured I’d go down and give it a stab plus this would count as my old Vegas part of the trip that I always make. I busted Aces full to Quad 9’s. Buddy of mine was still in so I sat at 1-2 NL for a while.

    Talkative table. She was sitting two to my right but I had no idea who she was. Table was supper friendly and talkative.

    Hour later she flops set of 6’s from the button i flop gin with 7-4 and we get it in. “Big hand” I won like $300.

    She says “nice hand” everyone says good bye like she’s the mayor.

    Guy next to me says “well I guess you have your Vegas story”. I say “why is that”?

    I guess before I got there they talked about her topless scene in the movie and she pulled out a laminated picture of it.

    Seemed really nice/cool for what it’s worth.

    I realise this is rubbing salt into the wounds of US players but GGPoker already has a SnapCam option where you can record a video message and send it to the table. Everything about GGPoker has been designed to keep fish happy .... running it multiple times ... insurance when allin ... staking/backing built into the client ... points when you get coolered/bad beat that translate into a flipament that pays cash prizes. They are just eating Pokerstars lunch in multiple ways. This app looks like a very sad fail - although Clonie still looking hot for her age.

    I played a few tournies with her out here in Southern California, including at the same table for hours one night at the Hustler. She seems very nice and definitely enjoyed the tournament competition.

    I always thought the timing of her move to South Africa was a bit weird - it was shortly after this story came out about her holding private games at her home in the Hollywood Hills and charging excessive rake and house fees:

    Another interesting factoid: Shannon's ex-husband was engaged to Annie Duke for a few years though they never ended up getting married

    I will always believe FTP fucked Clonie out of equity.

    Her story seemed believable. FTP owners did not.

    Anyone know what the reason she gave for moving to South Africa? I've known/come across South Africans and they almost universally want to GTFO of that country. They're getting it REALLY bad with Covid right now and the black folk are protesting a corrupt ex-President being convicted of corruption. Most white people are trying to flee if they can.

    The goal of Shannon Elizabeth's foundation is to save the animals.

    Which was probably one of the reasons she moved to South Africa.
