CarbonPoker has announced today that actress and poker fanatic Shannon Elizabeth has signed on to represent the brand in the poker community.

Shannon will represent the online poker provider at major poker tournaments, play regularly on the site, and be involved in the brand’s upcoming marketing campaigns.

“We’ve been on the hunt for a face for our brand who is a recognized star and also a respected member of the poker community”, says Peter Hampton, spokesperson at CarbonPoker.

“We’re launching several promotions that will involve players playing against Shannon and getting to know her both inside and outside of poker”, Hampton added.

Shannon will be posting regularly on the CarbonPoker Blog, as well as answering player questions and taking the creative lead on a series of videos for the site.

Shannon Elizabeth broke into mainstream film with her starring roll in the classic comedy ‘American Pie’ and has worked successfully in both film and television since.

In the meantime, Shannon has also emerged as a world-class poker talent. In 2007 she played her way to a third place finish at the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship, and has also cashed at the World Series of Poker four times.
