TMZ is reporting that Jayde Nicole, 2008 Playmate of the Year (and hostess celerity opponent of PokerStars Million-Dollar Challenge to the rest of us) is taking on the Las Vegas porn slappers. Apparently, at least one of them is using her image to sell ass. She and her lawyers are not amused.

Rodrigo, our go-to source for Strip porn slapping, was unavailable for comment, and likewise PokerStars has not released a statement yet about whether or not they were negotiating a deal with the escort agency to cover her wares with a PokerStars.net logo in preparation for the NAPT. Insert “deposit bonus” joke here.

The usual crew talked a little (new era) poker on TV this week — 2M2MM + PokerStars Million-Dollar Challenge — and then BJ number-geeked out on Daniel Negreanu’s breakdown of WPT performance stats … and a Calling the Clock segment on coaching at the WSOP main event.
