Poker2Nite
When we saw the tweets the other day claiming that Trishelle Canatella had stormed off the Poker2Nite set, we have to admit, we were pretty curious as to what happened. The boys can't be that bad �� can they?
Thanks to Wicked Chops Poker, video evidence has surfaced of the supposed tiff that Canatella and Joe Sebok got into, and by the looks of things, it was about as real as an episode of The Real World, or more fittingly "The Hills." Heck, we'll go as far as to compare it to Heidi from "The Hills." Yeah, we went there. See for yourself. Oh, and nice chair toss Trishelle.
