According to the creative minds over in the Bodog Sportsbook, our favorite poker playing celebrity, Shannon Elizabeth, still has the potential to win this season of Dancing With the Stars with her odds set at 20/1. Of course, she is up against a former ice dancer and current favorite to win Kristi Yamaguchi (2/1) and Tony Award-winning performer Marissa Jaret Winokur (40/1), but not matter what she sure is pretty to look at.

Elizabeth survived the first round of cuts a few days ago and will perform again next week, hoping that maybe Priscilla Presley (25/1) or Marlee Matlin (10/1) will earn the boot instead of her.

No matter how she finishes in DWtS, Elizabeth has already made a bigger mark in the poker world than most other *noted* players. She has cashed four times in WSOP events for over $10,000 and last year also got through to the semi-final round of the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship defeating WSOP bracelet winners Jeff Madsen, Barry Greenstein, and Humberto Brenes before losing to eventual champion Paul Wasicka.

Just a couple of months ago she finished 11th in the Omaha Hi/Lo prelim event at the WPT LA Poker Classic, showing that her poker game is rounding out and improving nicely. Hopefully her dancing can do the same and she can gain some statistical ground on Yamaguchi.
