Now that the Bellagio Cup IV is underway – the Main Event began on July 11th – fans of the World Poker Tour Live Updates have probably noticed that a new lady is doling out information including chip counts, up-to-the minute news and providing access to the players and on the spot interviews. A tournament reporting professional, Amanda Leatherman began covering WPT events in 2006. Since then, she’s worked on three seasons of the WPT as well as done coverage for the 2007 & 2008 Aussie Millions, 2006 & 2008 NBC Heads-Up Championship and the 2008 European Tour Grand Finale among other things.
Amanda, who will still maintain her duties with Poker Road Radio, replaces Kimberly Lansing as the World Poker Tour’s Live Updates Hostess. Of the gig, Leatherman said, “I’m a poker player and have been for quite a while now so I am very comfortable talking about hands and strategies. Plus I know a lot of the regulars on tour and it’ll be fun to talk with them on the webcam.”
Leatherman’s replacement of Lansing leads to speculation that Lansing is a frontrunner to replace Layla Kayleigh as hostess of the World Poker Tour’s seventh season. Kayleigh herself mentioned that she thought Lansing would be a wonderful choice to take on ‘hostess duties’. However, no official announcement has been made…and the WPT continues to produce televised final tables right now with no broadcast agreement set.
