For the first time in over a decade, actress Jennifer Tilly skipped the Oscars to participate in NBC’s National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Tilly’s poker game took center stage at last year's WSOP when she beat 600 women to win the Ladies event. Unfortunately, the Oscars may have been a better choice this year as she was knocked out in the first round by poker pro Paul Phillips. Her boyfriend, Phil Laak, didn’t fare much better and was beaten in round two by the legendary T.J. Cloutier.
