Rousso is 'brilliant and savvy"

2009-03-11 09:42:21

NBC National Heads-Up Championship runner-up and new GoDaddy Girl Vanessa Rousso is as brilliant and savvy as any poker player you could meet, her sponsor said after her success at the tournament.

Although Rousso lost in the final game to Huck Seed, her performance made for a "gripping finale" and was extra special as it was her first time wearing a leather GoDaddy jacket, said chief executive officer and founder Bob Parsons.

Describing her as "the world's hottest poker player", Parsons said she fitted the bill perfectly for her sponsor.

"I liked Vanessa from the moment I met her," he added. "She brings everything you'd want to the table."

Rousso took home $250,000 but said she sweated for it, having had a tough run of opponents in the tourney.

However, she was cheered on by fellow GoDaddy Girl and World Wrestling Entertainment star Candice Michelle, who had the fun job of giving her the prize money due to the fact the event was also sponsored by GoDaddy.
