Kara Scott and her husband Giovanni Rizzo have announced a new relationship with the Italian poker industry event organizer Tilt Events.
It’s been a fast-paced, frenetic, firecracker of a 2015 for Kara Scott. The year started with the sad news that her five-year relationship with partypoker had ended, and it’s rolled on with the much more upbeat story that she has joined the Italian 
poker industry event organizer Tilt Events.
Scott revealed the news on her Cardrunners blog, and she’s not the only addition to the team. Former partypoker Team Pro, Giovanni Rizzo, will also be joining making them the only married couple to represent the same brand as professional poker players.
“Giovanni and I will be joining their team, being involved all the way from the early dreaming stages to the fine detail execution of the Tilt Cup events as well as bringing back – and this is REALLY exciting – the Venice Poker Festival for the end of 2015! We’re both energized to work hard, listen and help create tournaments that are the kind of events that we as players would love to attend.” Wrote Scott.
Scott was a former guest on my Life Outside of Poker show where she spoke about the difficulties in learning the Italian language. Not only does she live in Italy, but she now works in an Italian company. One imagines her learning curve has shortened incredibly.

Rizzo joined partypoker after finishing 288th in the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and spent a few years with the online poker outfit before leaving to join Gioco Digitale. He has amassed $173,000 in live tournament earnings, and is a winner in the Italian online scene.
