A $25/$50Poker Night in America cash game found Jennifer Tilly seated at the table wearing what has arguably become a signature look for her while playing poker - a low-cut top that reveals a fair amount of her ample assets.

The movie star and WSOP bracelet winner admitted to preferring that particular style of dress in a previous interview with Nymag.com when she stated that for poker appearances on television:

"I always just want to look cute, so I wear a lot of push-up bras and low-cut tops.”



What Pair You Looking At?

Tilly's favored fashion statement was once again on display at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino Resort in Hollywood, Florida. Her opponents included three guys named Mike - Laake, Dentale and Sigel - but it was Alex Rocha who would create problems for Tilly's big pair.

Not the pair that she unabashedly flaunts as a TV starlet would - and perhaps should - but her pair of kings.

Jennifer had the misfortune of running up against the only starting hand that could beat her big pair and it was Rocha who held it.

"If people are ­really playing poker, they don’t care,” Tilly added during the Nymag.com interview in regard to her attire. “Nothing looks better to them than a pair of aces. They’re not looking at your pair. They’re looking at their pair.”


Milestone Soon to be Reached

Rocha fit into that category perfectly. He saw only his big pair and took down a pot of $13,325 after betting $3K into a $7,325 pot on the river following a check from Jennifer.

Despite scooping that $13K, Rocha finished the session down $3,400. Tilly fared even worse as the game's biggest loser at - $14,425.

Those big pair problems were apparently not an issue earlier this year when Tilly finished 2nd in a $5,200 Turbo 6-Handed event at the PokerStars Championship Bahamas for $39,160. She's now only about $12K shy of reaching the $1 million mark in career cashes.
