Rousso Eliminated from Sports Illustrated

Boys, the images in your minds of Vanessa Rousso in a swimsuit will have to be good enough. Gary Trask of Casino City Times reported yesterday that Sports Illustrated did the photo shoot but decided to leave her out of the swimsuit edition.

That’s cold, SI. Colder than it is today in North Dakota…cold.

Since Vanessa said that it was a good experience for her, those memories will have to suffice. And her renewed energy for poker this year might get her that big win on the felt in ’09.

    Can you really trust the article when they call her fiance Chad SCOTT?

    Also there’s an interview over at wpt.com that says SI is sending her the “rough draft” of the pictures.

    Okay, I agree that’s a bit of an oversight to let Chad’s name be published in error, but Gary is a good journalist. If he says he made the call to SI, I trust that.

    That is harsh. Poor Vanessa. Why put her through all the trouble and excitement?
