Court TV tapped Wendeen Eolis to guest anchor an hour long show with fiery former prosecutor and Court TV regular Nancy Grace during the Lonnie “Ted” Binion murder trial.
A world class poker player at the Court TV table, Wendeen steers clear of making predictions on the outcome of the trial, instead allowing Nancy Grace to turn her attention on Wendeen’s legal consulting career, her political appointments and her experience in the gaming industry, as well as her knowledge of the history and legacy of the Binion-Behnen family.
Ms. Grace makes much of Wendeen’s exploits at the poker table, marveling at the commemorative chip that the World Series of Poker issued in her honor for her record-setting performance in the WSOP’s final event.
