Celebrity Poker Showdown Tournament 5 Championship Game

The Celebrity Poker Showdown Tournament 5 Championship Game was played last night. It was an exciting poker game and I enjoyed very much watching these celebrities play poker against one another. Filmed recently before a live audience at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, each episode of Celebrity Poker Showdown will feature five celebrities competing against each other for a piece of the $250,000 prize pool in a game of No Limit Texas Hold'em poker for the charity of their choice. Each week a new crop of stars will take to the table to challenge their peers. The winner from each week's game will go on to compete in the championship final sixth episode. Viewers will have the inside track on the hands the different players are holding via hidden cameras. They will also be able to hear from the eliminated players, who will watch the remainder of their respective matches from the "Loser's Lounge," via closed circuit television.


All players are guaranteed at least $5,000 in prize money for their chosen charity. Just for making it to the finals, fifth place will win $7,500, fourth place will win $10,000, third place will win $12,500 and second place will walk away with $20,000 for their charity. The Celebrity Poker Showdown champions will each walk away with $100,000 for the charity of their choice.


This Celebrity Poker Showdown Championship Poker Game featured "Everyone Loves Raymond"'s Brad Garrett, "Seinfeld"'s Jason Alexander, Bonnie Hunt, Colin Quinn, and "The Cosby Show"'s Malcolm Jamal Warner. All these celebrity poker players had dominated at their respective previous poker table games and all us fans knew this was going to be an exciting Hollywood celebrity poker game.


Colin Quinn began the onslaught by beating out Jason Alexander with three Queen's, aka triplets in the poker world. I really enjoy JAson and wish he didn't get eliminated first, but celebrity poker is surprising and very radical for a poker game, you know how these celebrities like to be big shots and think they are all poker players :p. Surprisingly, my favourite poker player in this Celebrity Poker Showdown, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, was beat out by Bonnie Hunt and Colin Quinn crippled Malcolm's poker chips.


Colin continued his winning streak by eliminating Bonnie Hunt from the poker table with a flush of poker hearts. Colin is a serious poker player and would be great to play against online at a poker card room. Finally, between Brad and Colin, Lady Lucky came into play allowing Brad to defeat the poker man, Colin Quinn. It was nice to see Garrett get into the action, but you got to love Colin's poker skills by taking everyone out!
