Our first celebrity sighting is Cheryl Hines, the wonderfully funny actress best known for her role as Cheryl David on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm. We don't want to pick favorites, but we really like Curb.

Over the next three days, our bloggers and field reporters will be relieved of the stench that comes with every male-dominated tournament field, as the women of poker take to the felt for the 2010 WSOP Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship.
Last year's event drew 1,060 of the world's finest female poker players, creating a prize pool of over one million dollars. Lisa Hamilton tore through the field en route to claiming the biggest piece of the pie, earning $195,390 and a shiny WSOP gold bracelet.
Tournament organizers expect a similar-sized crowd this year, when the event kicks off at 12:00 noon later today.
Will this year's "we're in the money" shriek be louder than last's? Keep it locked right here at PokerNews.com to find out!
