According to Bluff Magazine, the World Poker Tour will not be having spokesmodel Courtney Friel back to host season number five of the popular poker series.

Instead, they will be presenting the next season with 22 year old Sabina Gadecki as the smiling hostess. She'll be presenting the same smile that won her the Miss Western Massachusetts crown, and the 2002 Miss Polonia title.

This former beauty queen has a resume outside the world of good looks. She has been studying international business at Fordham University, while pursuing a minor in Communications.

After submitting a head shot, the producers of the Wold Poker Tour requested a demo tape from Sabina. The demo must have been both effective, and a bit out of the ordinary. Gadecki's agent remarked that "They'll either think you're crazy, or they'll love it."

The demo struck the right chord with the hiring team at the WPT because she got the job. And, right from day one, she's been able to impress the World Poker Tour folks with a strong work ethic as she dove right into the task of becoming fluent in the language of poker.

Like Shana Hiatt, the drop dead gorgeous hostess from the show's first three seasons, Sabina will have to learn the nuances of the game, as well as the players and the language in order to bring the most to her new position.

WPT Season Five kicked off with the Mirage Poker Showdown, and will continue at poker rooms around the globe cluminating in the WPT World Championship held at the Bellagio in April of 2007.
