A trio of stories connected to the World Poker Tour as the Bay 101 Shooting Stars are announced, Vince Van Patten’s worst nightmares come true on an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Royal Flush Girl Ivy Tevez stars as one of the Girls of FHM January 2015 in the Philippines.
The World Poker Tour (WPT) Bay 101 Shooting Stars event may not take place until March, but we already know the 52-players who will be carrying a bounty on their heads when the fun begins.
Live satellites for the event will start operating on Feb, 16 with a series of buy-ins ranging from $275, $550, and $1,100 planned throughout both Feb and March. There will be a two-day $2,100 event on Mar 8-9, a $25,000 High Roller event Mar 11-12, with the $7,500 televised Main Event scheduled to take place Mar 9 -13.
The Main Event will take place over five days, and players can re-enter, if eliminated, up to the beginning of Day 2. The chip leaders on Day 1A and Day 1B will both receive a $10,000 bonus and each Shooting Star will carry a $2,500 bounty on this mug.

Vince Van Patten in a World of Hurt
When you are the co-commentator on the World Poker Tour, live in a Beverly Hills Mansion, and are married to a star reportedly earning $750,000 per season, on the reality TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, then you shouldn’t have much to complain about. But there are times when even the classiest of lives can turn into complete dog shit.
Vince Van Patten has been married to the Real Housewives of Beverley Hills star, Eileen Davidson, for over a decade, after the pair met on the set of The Young and the Restless. During that time, you would imagine the pair have gone through quite a lot together, but none of that could have prepared dear Vince for the moment he was chosen to try and create law and order in a poker game complete with a bevvy of Beverly Hills housewives.
“She has had a few drinks and now she has gone over to the dark side.” Said one of the cast as verbal sparring broke out over a few glasses of expensive looking Champers.
For once, Van Patten, was utterly speechless.
You can check out the action on a short clip over at F5 Poker.
