By launchpoker, May 6, 2008 Celebrity Eliminated from Poker Tourney in Atlantic City

It is not the first time actress Cheryl Hines sat down at a poker tournament, and it won't be the last. The actress from the HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm left the set of a movie to come and play in a Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa tournament in Atlantic City. Hines was a favorite on the show "Celebrity Poker Showdown", hosted first by Phil Gordon and then by Phil Hellmuth, both poker pros. Hines also runs home games for her celebrity pals twice a week. The only celebrity at the guaranteed $500,000 Borgata event, Hines did not last the day.
