Poker pro and TV host Kara Scott joins us from the CardRunners party in Las Vegas right on the strip. Site editor Dan Cypra, armed with camera and microphone, ran down Scott in the street before she could leave to get this exclusive interview which goes into depth about her professional poker life, her television career and her romantic relationship with Brian Townsend.
Scott has appeared and played in many different poker tournament broadcasts both in the United States and in Europe where she is more well known. She appeared on PartyPoker.net’s World Woman’s Open in 2007 and won the first event and eventually finishing 6th in the final. The next year she won the PartyPoker Sports Star Challenge and then finished second in the Irish Open for €312,600.
According to Wikipedia, her total live tournament winnings are in excess of $550,000. She had a great run at the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event where she finished in 104th place out of the total 6,844 players, which earned her $41,816 for the $10,000 buy-in. Scott is the only woman who cashed in both the 2008 and 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event and only the second woman to cash in back-to-back Main Events after finishing in 238th place in 2009.
In January of 2009, PartyPoker announced that Kara Scott would join team Party to join Mike Sexton and Tony G on their list of sponsored pros.
