Shannon Elizabeth, the actress we all remember from her iconic role in 'American Pie,' is setting her sights on a different kind of game – poker with none other than Kylie Jenner. During a chat with Us Weekly on May 4, Shannon revealed her curiosity about Kylie’s poker skills after Jenner mentioned her own poker nights.
“I did just see a video where Kylie talked about playing poker,” Shannon shared, adding a hint of intrigue. “I was like, ‘Oh, that’s so cool that she plays. I wonder if she’s any good.’”
Kylie’s comments about her poker evenings with actor boyfriend Timothée Chalamet didn’t go unnoticed. Shannon, who has impressively raked in $247,851 from her poker pursuits, is keen on joining the table with the 28-year-old beauty mogul. In a recent Vanity Fair cover story, Jenner expressed her enjoyment of serious poker games – a sentiment Shannon wholeheartedly agrees with.
"That’s amazing," Shannon mused about Kylie's dedication. "I hate playing when it's beginners who aren't serious and are just drinking and not focusing," she added, echoing Kylie's views on taking poker seriously.
Reflecting on her own poker journey, Shannon recalled learning the game during its rise in Hollywood. While she humbly admits, "I’m not really a good player," she acknowledges how much the game has changed, even mentioning some players using AI to strategize. Now, she focuses on enjoying the game rather than competing in big tournaments.
But Shannon’s not stepping away entirely – she’s organizing a charity poker event for the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation on June 28 in Las Vegas, coinciding with the World Series of Poker. "That pro community and all the players that have been friends and supported me… will be there this year," she mentioned enthusiastically.
With her poker ambitions and recent success on OnlyFans, Shannon Elizabeth is clearly enjoying her time in the spotlight. As for that poker night with Kylie Jenner – fans are eagerly waiting to see if these two iconic figures will indeed shuffle the deck together.
