Scooooooop! Bodog’s Poker Babe Evelyn Ng is dating Dutch poker pro Lex “RaSZi” Veldhuis. On his blog, RaSZi writes: “The best thing about Vegas was definitely ‘meeting’ my new girlfriend, Evelyn Ng. We already met two years ago in Vegas and got along great, but nothing specific. The past year we have been talking a lot online and we have a lot of things in common. I went to hang out at the charity barbecues for Phil Ivey’s charity foundation, where Evelyn organized a Guitar Hero tournament for charity. In the week after we saw each other daily and we’re going out since then. I actually stayed in Vegas for 2 extra weeks. So i came back from Vegas a winner in the end;)”
Coming from the Starcraft-world, RaSZi multi-tables the mid/high stakes NL games on Stars. He writes strategy articles for Pokernews and will be one of the instructors for their new video-strategy-site. One of his famous accomplishments was turning $200 into $+100K in a single session on Full Tilt Poker, playing mostly heads-up cash games. Now he’s heads-up with Evelyn Ng. Nh, sir.

Update 25 August: Evelyn kindly posted the following photo on the 2+2 Forums, to confirm the story:

Nope, this is not about the EPT Best Newcomer Nominees. Annette will probably win that award, beating Trond Erik Eidsvig, Jason Mercier, Denes Kalo and Mike McDonald. The nominees were announced yesterday and the winner will be picked September 9th in Barcelona at the EPT Awards.
No no, this article is not about that. What is it about then?

We are happy to announce Annette Obrestad has been added to our list of Nominees for Poker Babe Players! She joins the likes of Jennifer Harman, Jimmy Fricke and Daniel Negreanu (huh?).

It is up to you to see if she’ll make the official gallery of Poker Babe Players of Babesinpoker.com. We will pick one of the Nominees on September 9th 2008 -which was the set date long before the EPT even existed - based on the amount of your views. So if you like to see Annette on the same page as Shannon Elizabeth and Tiffany Michelle, start clicking!

Yesterday, GSN aired the next to last appearance of the beautiful Layla Kayleigh and Kimberly Lansing on the World Poker Tour Ladies Championship. It was Vanessa Selbst who defeated Erica Schoenberg heads-up, but all the attention went to Layla and Kimberly for sure.
Layla Kayleigh was asked to be WPT’s hostess for another season, but she turned down the offer, saying she doesn’t want to travel that much and wants to focus more on her health and personal relationships. You go girl! Sabina Gadecki, Courtney Friel and Shana Hiatt were Layla’s pre-successors.
Kimberly Lansing is WPT’s online hostess, and now takes over the whole show. Thank god.

We’ve had many requests about showing the famous “Nadia-scene”. Well, just ask and we shall deliver. For old time’s sake:
