Foxwoods opens WPT themed poker room
Ex-Baywatch star Carmen Electra and ‘the voice of poker’ Mike Sexton were spared no privileges as they attended the opening of Foxwoods Resort Casino’s new poker room last Thursday.

As Mike Sexton surveyed the 114 table state-of-the-art WPT Poker Room Ms. Electra walked the red carpet sipping a $3,000 martini, complete with a diamond encrusted stirrer. She then dealt the first hand of the poker room’s inaugural event – a $25,000 VIP charity tournament.

Along with the celebrities and media folk competing in the charity event were hundreds of poker enthusiasts, who had turned up to compete in a qualifying event for the upcoming WPT Foxwoods Poker Classic, due to be held on the 6th of April.

The new poker room showcases tables with LED table components, automatic card shufflers, and a state-of-the-art seating system. It is now a no-smoking zone.
