Hey, Young Hollywood.

Camille Anderson

I'm Camille Anderson at the 6th Annual World Poker Tour Invitational. All the hottest celebs have come out to play, so get your poker face on.

Young Hollywood

What's your strategy to win the 100 grand?

Guest

My strategy is to get knocked out quick because I feel that's a strategy I can actually win at. I've worked at it on the internet for months and I I seem pretty good at it.

Young Hollywood

What's your best poker face?

Guest

I say every time, I have an excellent hand.

Guest

You know, I just got here from Vegas. Yeah, I was playing the the Heads Up tournament and uh so I just literally got here like 30 minutes ago and went downstairs and played and then rushed up here to play. So, I'm going to just try to stay awake.

Young Hollywood

You're like hardcore player.

Guest

It's just it's the way they time out, you know, this was just back-to-back. And if I had done better out there, I'd still be out there.

Young Hollywood

Who are you really looking to beat? Like, who are you, who would you be happy beating?

Guest

Everybody here.

Guest

First of all, I couldn't be more flattered that Young Hollywood has asked me to come and talk with them. I just you've made my day.

Young Hollywood

You're so Young Hollywood.

Guest

Wooh. Boobs. I brought my boobs, just trying to distract them. That's my strategy.

Guest

I just sit back and watch for a while and then, you know, when I, when I can, I try to go in for the kill.

Young Hollywood

Any advice for the other players?

Guest

Stay awake. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Yes, very important. Must stay awake.

Young Hollywood

How do you plan on staying awake? Cocktails and whatnot?

Guest

Uh, not too many cocktails. Another little bit of advice. I wish my table was the drinking table, I'd be really don't do very well.

Guest

I'm a pretty good poker player. I've been playing online for many, many years. I think this is a very different tournament. I think I'd actually rather play with pros because there's a method to their madness. I would venture to say that a third of the field here doesn't know if a full house beats a flush or not. So you have to sort of guess if they know what they're doing. Not that I do, but you know what I mean.

Young Hollywood

You guys are all about to head down and play. How are you feeling?

Guest

Um aggressive. Go big or go home.

Young Hollywood

Nice. You sound like you're very fierce.

Guest

I won't be here long. I mean, I'm either going to win or I'll be out very quickly.

Young Hollywood

What do you want to say to Young Hollywood? Like uh advice, you're successful.

Guest

Stay in school, study. Don't be a clown.

Norman Dale

Hi, I'm Norman Dale, you're watching Young Hollywood. That's why I'm going like this.
