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.

Coming in at number 9 on this list of the ladies who sizzle when they are playing and when they are simply strutting their stuff, we have the lovely — and talented — Tiffany Michelle. You may know her from television and even from the movies as well — heck, this Jill of All Trades is proficient when it comes to music, too! Given both her affinity and talent for poker, it looks like there is absolutely nothing she cannot do.

She plays, she commentates, she does it professionally, she does it for charity, she does it for fun — this girl is a well rounded poker player, which is undoubtedly the best kind. Her scope, in going from the table to the world behind the scenes, where she covers poker games on TV and on the radio, is quite admirable as well, since she only came onto the scene four short years ago, in 2005.

In last year’s WSOP — the Main Event, no less — she made perhaps her brightest mark. Out of a whopping 6,844 other players, she placed 17th. That made her the first woman to place that high in the field.

Also known as Hot Chips, this lovely lady has already gotten four cashes and won a total of $352,582.
