Poker Host Kara Scott Engaged To Be Married

Kara Scott and Giovanni RizzoKara Scott may officially be Canadian but due to a 10 year stint in the UK working in the media, there are many people who are proud to root for her and wish her all the best. These people will be delighted to learn that Kara has just announced that she is engaged and all the better, it is being kept within the poker community. The popular poker host and partypoker professional Scott has said yes to a proposal of marriage from Giovanni Rizzo. The couple have been together for more than a year, which may not seem like that long a term, but life is a bit like poker, sometimes you get a feeling when you need to go all in.

The marriage proposal came about when both players were competing in the World Poker Tour Venice Grand Poker. This was a tournament where Scott performed rather well and she had genuine hopes about being a contender for the final table. Sadly, she was knocked out in 13th place, a finish which still saw her receive €7,200 for her troubles. Of course, we now know that she returned from Venice with a bit more than just money to be happy about! Venice is supposedly the city where Scott and Rizzo first kissed so there is a nice sense of symmetry about the proposal.

Italy is the home for the popular poker couple

While marriage is a major step, the couple have already been building towards a proper commitment. These days, sharing a home is a major commitment and the duo have not long moved in together in Italy. Like most poker players, they will spend a lot of time on the road but hopefully there will be plenty of events where they can travel together and spend plenty of their down time together. This may lead to some interesting moments around the poker table but given that they are both professionals, you can bet that they will be doing what is right!

No doubt the different companies will play their part in keeping both players on their toes and ensuring that there is no collusion when they end up facing each other at the poker table. Even if this doesn’t happen too often, you know how fate often intervenes to ensure that these occurrences take place.

Well lads, that is another good looking female poker player off the market but as you usually find with online poker, there are plenty more fish in the sea! Of course, this refers to the fish poker players that experienced poker players hunt down in the hope of claiming easy money.
