Lee Davy brings you his usual colorful round-up of the weekly poker news, including an appearance in Big Brother for Vanessa Rousso, a second bankruptcy filing for Erick Lindgren, a potential ban of third party software on PokerStars.

Vanessa Rousso has been unveiled as a contestant on Big Brother 17. The show will air on CBS, and if Rousso can avoid being axed during the first eviction scheduled for Thu, July 2, then the former Team PokerStars pro will miss the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.

14 contestants have been named, and Rousso is not the only one connected with the poker industry. It seems CBS read my Ghosts of the WSOP article, and decided poker dealers needed their five minutes of fame. LA Dealer Da’Vonne Rogers will also have her number two’s shown to the whole wide world.

One man who wouldn’t have minded a few months in the Big Brother house is Erick Lindgren. E-Dog is once again center stage after it was revealed he took steps to apply for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection for the second time in the past three years.
