What does our 8th Queen of Poker have in common with Her Majesty Number 9, Miss Tiffany Michelle? Well, for one thing, you may not know her as a poker player. You may know her better as the gruesomely gorgeous Bride of Chucky, or as Joe Swanson’s perpetually pregnant wife Bonnie (actually, Bonnie finally popped this season, it’s a girl!), or from countless other flicks and TV shows. At any rate, most of us know the vivacious, sultry Jennifer Tilly for that unique, creamily high pitched voice better than we do for her poker skills — but man, we better learn to recognize that game.

To be fair, it has only been recently that Jennifer Tilly has been earning her bones as a skillful player, but she is definitely an up and coming queen. Believe it or not, in 2005, Jennifer took home the gold bracelet in the Ladies No Limit Hold ‘Em event of the World Series of Poker — and lest you think that was just luck, she went on to place first in the World Poker Tour Ladies Invitation. With fifteen cashes, two first place finishes, a WSOP bracelet, and $434,468 in cash winnings, Jennifer’s definitely proving herself both a Jill of All Trades as well, and a veritable Queen of Poker.
