Those who are immersed in the world of poker hotties have no doubt heard of Kara Scott. She has burst on to the poker scene in the last couple of years with her sexy looks and solid playing skills. And speaking of the playing skills, Scott is one of the few people to make the final 250 players in the WSOP Main Event in the last two years. She has over $500,000 in career winnings with about $450,000 of it coming within the last year. This is not to mention the fact that she’s also done commentary work for the European Poker Tour.
Due to her impressive resume, and great looks, Kara Scott has now been named the new hostess of High Stakes Poker. With this announcement, all the speculation of other people being named the host will finally come to an end. At one point, rumors were swirling around that Vanessa Rouso would be the next person to host High Stakes Poker. Most of these unfounded rumors came from poker forums, but still they took off in a big way. Since Kara Scott has been named the host, we now know that there is no truth to these rumors.
With Scott taking over at HSP, she’ll be teaming up with Gabe Kaplan which should be very interesting. Kaplan and A.J. Benza were a fantastic commentary team, but the Game Show Network decided to disband the team in favor of brining in a younger, female co-host. Long-time fans of the show are still puzzled as to why they would break up this team, but one big reason could be that GSN is looking for a more general audience. Kara Scott could certainly bring that bigger general audience.
