Sabina Gadecki, a former Miss Poland, is the new Season V hostess of the World Poker Tour. Courtney Friel did an excellent job hosting Season IV but she never quite matched the spontaneity and humor of Shana Hiatt, the very successful hostess of the first three seasons. Though Shana Hiatt can't be replaced, Ms Gadecki seems to come very close.
According to blogger and freelance poker journalist BJ Nemeth, Ms Gadecki is a 22-year-old multi-talent currently majoring in International Business at Fordham University. She also follows acting classes at William Esper Studios, and studies ballet at the Broadway Dance Center. She's originally from Poland where she was Miss Poland back in 2002.
BJ Nemeth posted the first interview with Sabina Gadecki on his poker blog and also published some excellent photos of the new WPT hostess, which for now are very hard to come by. If you're interested in more info about Sabina, we'll suggest you hop over to BJ Nemeth's blog immediately and start reading.
The Las Vegas poker blog also has a few pictures of Ms Gadecki posted, taken at the Mirage Poker Showdown, the first WPT event of Season V. The Mirage Poker Showdown was won by Stan Weiss, and a good final table write up of that event is also available at LasVegasVegas.com.
