Jayde Nicole - Model Turned Poker Pro

Just another hot girl to watch out for in the poker industry. Although she's not one of the best female poker players, but she's definitely one of the hottest, sexiest and most stunning poker girls around the world.

After being the Playboy's Playmate of the month for January 2007 and was named as the Playmate of the Year for 2008. The Canadian hot model, Jayde Nicole found a new career to becoming a professional poker player.

Jayde Nicole has recently taken to the felt with an appearance on the PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge. She also discuss in an interview on PokerNews how she became interested and introduced to the game poker.

Here are some of the actual questions and answers in the interview:

So Jayde, tell us, how did you stumble into poker for the first time?
Well, I first started playing poker with my boyfriend Brody Jenner who loves poker. He has big poker games from time to time, and I took to the game right away. I then met All In Magazine publisher Kasey Thompson and I agreed to doing the "All In Magazine Project" where each month I train with a different professional poker player and track all my progress and results in the pages of the magazine.

Are there any advantages of being a Playmate at the poker tables?
First of all, nobody takes you seriously at the poker table. Girls at the table hate you and everyone else tries to help you learn. It's somewhat similar to how Daniel reacted before my match on the "Million Dollar Challenge."

Which is more exciting, flopping top pair or posing topless?
(laughs) I would say flopping top pair is more fun.

Hotter accessory, a WSOP bracelet or a Playmate of the Year diamond pendant?
If I were ever lucky enough to win a bracelet, I would have to ask them to custom make me a special one. The bracelets are so big and heavy and are obviously designed for guys. So for now, I would have to go with my Playmate of the Year pendant.

Who is your favorite poker player and why?
Daniel Negreanu is definitely my favorite. I just love the way he plays the game and he is Canadian like me. So many poker players seem to have big egos, and he is so sweet and fun to be around.

Where can we expect to see you at the poker tables next?
Well, I plan on playing two to three poker tournaments online each week. I'm also playing in an Ante Up for Africa event this week, and then Ill be playing in the PokerStars Caribbean Challenge in the Bahamas in January.

Now, Jayde Nicole is still engaged on her first love – modeling, but still she's having appearance on poker events and tournaments.
