Stay-at-home mom outlasts celebrities on Bravo poker show

BravoTV.com's online poker tournament winner, Ida Siconolfi, out-played four celebrities to win Game 3 of the Celebrity Poker Showdown on Bravo.

The stay-at-home mother's seat on the show was a prize for beating out thousands of competitors during Bravo's online poker tournament.


Siconolfi, a San Jose, Calif., native, played against Fred Savage ("Crumbs," and "The Wonder Years"), Brett Butler ("Grace Under Fire"), Doug E. Doug ("Cool Runnings") and Jennifer Tilly, who has won a World Series of Poker bracelet as well as an Oscar.

It came down to a heads-up match between Siconolfi and Savage, with Siconolfi walking away with the ticket to the championship game at the end of the season as well as money for her chosen charity, the Children's Health Fund.

So far the final championship table includes Siconolfi, Jason Alexander ("Seinfeld") and Michael Ian Black ("Reno 911!"). Game 4 of the tournament debuts Wednesday with Game 5 following on June 28.

According to BravoTV.com, this season all the celebrities are playing for charities that benefit Hurricane Katrina victims.
