Written by Tom L | Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
Christina Lindley will be at WSOP 2008 to participate in the Ladies Event starting Sunday the 8th of June.
Christina is a fitness model and will definitely add pizzazz to the proceedings.
Christina is more known for her lingerie shoots for Maxim and modeling assignments for Playboy, but that does not mean that she is not serious about poker. Her poker life began about four years back when she did a commercial for an online poker room in which she played Antonio Esfandiari’s girl friend. Since then she has been tutored by Esfandiari, blackjack pro Ken Einegar, Jeff “Prairie Dog” Mansen and Hollywood Dave Stann. Her favorite poker pros are Barry Greenstein and Sammy Farha, and among the women she looks up to Annie Duke, Jennifer Harman, and Jennifer Tilly, though Shannon Elizabeth will never be her role model.
Her favorite game is No Limit Hold’em and she would love to hold a pocket of aces. She does not have committed views on the larger poker issues such as delaying the final table in the WSOP main event or on online poker prohibition. But politically she votes for the Democrats. On the 31st of May she played in a celebrity charity for Mentors For Youth, and Last Chance For Africa. This was held at the Hawaiian Gardens in Los Angeles. Earlier in May she played for a charity event organized by coach and friend Dave Stann at the Velvet Margarita Cantina, where she was one of the two women players.
Christina comes from a lower middle class Tennessee background. She became famous through her 25 page layout in Muscular Development. Now she is working with top photographers like Brie Childers for top companies and loves the world of limousines and red carpets. Her recent lingerie shoot for Maxim was much in the news as was her assignment with Playboy. The Playboy shoot was not for the center spread but was a non-nude celebrity pictorial that appears every month. Christina says that she is committed to not undressing for shoots. Combining modeling with poker, Christina was the stunning July 2007 girl of the month for BetUS.com.
Christina has done a bit of acting as well. She has appeared in Big Momma’s House 2 and The Marine. She has done reality television as well, being on shows like NBC’s Fear Factor and Princess of Malibu. In the latter the contestants had to work as a chef for Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt and Christina ended up burning the spaghetti and bread.
In an interview with Jenny Woo of Gambling911.com Christina said that she has not been naturally endowed with a good body and has had to work very hard to maintain her figure and shape. She thanks her dietician Tony Haines for her traffic stopper looks, who puts her on a healthy diet of fish and asparagus before any shoot. In the interview Christina let out another secret. She is just out of a relationship, and for the moment intends to stay single.
