Sounds like she did pretty well..

Joanna, considered by Playboy Magazine to be the "World's Hottest Swimsuit Model," shocked poker fans by outlasting most of the other celebrities and professional players participating in this year's WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas.

Despite only beginning to play poker last year, Joanna survived well into the second round of play of the Texas Hold'em No Limit $10,000 Buy-In Main Event, beating out more than 5,000 poker players, including actresses Shannon Elizabeth and Jennifer Tilly and 2004 WSOP champ Greg "Fossilman" Raymer.
