Avant-Garde Poker & Nicknames
by Michele Lewis, Feb 20, 2007 | 7:30 pm
It seems everyday there is a new poker team or new type of poker tournament. Jeff Madsen and Brandon Cantu have returned from the huddle with their fellow teamsters for the PokerBowl. And several couples and tag-team events have already popped up this year.
Additionally, PartyPoker has announced a televised event inviting pros such as Phil Hellmuth, Devilfish, Kenna James, and Vicki Coren (London EPT Winner). To play you only need $20k, an invitation (due to a nice resume) and a nickname. Lacking an AKA, well-mannered Vicki stuck with tradition and decided she couldn’t possibly nickname herself so she took a poll, the results of which she announced in her column yesterday.

Check out the ringer they got for the Dallas PokerBowl team! And I hear that Cloutier guy isn’t bad either.
