absolutepokerSometimes, there’s really no better way to entice people to join your site than to have a pretty woman do the endorsement. And this is exactly what Absolute Poker (30% Rakeback)did when they signed an endorsement deal with model and actress, Trishelle Cannatella. But Cannatella is not just a pretty face, she’s also one of the most impressive female poker players in the planet today. This impressive combination of looks and skill certainly makes her a truly effective endorser.

Who is Trishelle Cannatella?

Trishelle Cannatella is a model and actress who found her claim to fame through reality shows. She also works as a playboy model and has also appeared in other magazines like Maxim and Elle Girl. She has appeared in several shows such as Punk’d, Criminal Minds, Dr. Steve-O, and Fear Factor. Trishelle is no stranger to the movie industry either and has appeared in films such as Ninja Cheerleaders, The Hillz, and The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning. She is, however, most famous for her role in the reality show, Real World: Las Vegas. In this show, she perfectly portrayed the role of sexy party girl. Her most memorable scene was when she had a three-way make out session with two of the other contestants. It was shocking, almost taboo, but it was TV material and it boosted her popularity instantly. The Real World not only opened the doors of the TV industry for her, but for the Poker World as well. Poker became one of her favorite pastimes during the show and she quickly learned the ropes of the game. It was apparent that she had a real talent for it, and she continued to pursue it even after she left the show.

Trishelle as a Poker Player

Trishelle’s participation in the poker community includes joining several tournaments and even a charity run. She appeared on the game show called Celebrity Poker Showdown, where the celebrities played poker all for the sake of charity. She also participated in the World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational in 2008 and 2009. Most impressive, however, was her participation in the tournament at Caesars where she won the Caesars Palace Classic Title. It was the first ever poker event she entered and she actually managed to win it. Her various achievements have apparently caught the eye of those at PokerStars and had her sign an endorsement deal with them.

In an interview, Cannatella reveals that she is “very excited to be AbsolutePoker.com’s new celebrity endorser”, and further goes on to say that Poker is one of her passions and that she can’t think of a better team to be part of.
