Poker television show Poker2Nite just began filming yesterday and the show has already succumbed to drama. The show featured Trishelle Cannatella, a former reality star now a poker pro. Cannatella is sponsored by Absolute Poker and she has been on a hot streak lately, winning tournaments and making final tables.
Cannatella appeared on the show and was being interviewed by Joe Sebok. Apparently she didn’t wear what he thought was ‘appropriate’ and he called her on it. in the video footage Cannatella is seen wearing a yellow blouse and snug fitting pants but Sebok must have wanted to see more skin.
As soon as the interview began Sebok commented that she dressed a little to ‘appropriately’ for her interview. This upset Cannatella so she threw her microphone down, shoved a chair and then stormed off. In the process Sebok commented that Cannatella dressed more provocatively at a recent Las Vegas tournament.
Sebok was also heard saying “This is why we can’t have women on the show.†This statement was made as Cannatella was walking off the stage. Cannatella is known for her part on the MTV show The Real World Las Vegas where things got a little wild. After she walked off you can hear Scott Huff who is seated by Sebok say maybe she would be more comfortable in a hot tub, which is a deliberate jab at Cannatella.
Later that evening Cannatella tweeted that Sebok was a ‘jerk face’ and then she returned to the stage to finish the interview. This story comes straight from Wicked Chops Poker and some of their readers think the incident may have been staged. We’ve included the video, so take a look yourself and see what you think.
