WPT Says Bye Bye to Sabina Gadecki?

I just bumped into a certain news item that left me virtually speechless. I read that the gorgeous super model Sabina Gadecki is very unlikely to come back to host the sixth season of the WPT show. Ok, so its still regarded a rumor and the WPT has not yet made an official statement about Gadecki's unexpected departure, but it seems that she is indeed not coming back.

Interestingly enough, if these rumors eventually become reality and Gadecki is replaced by some other hostess, she would share the fate of her predecessor Courtney Friel, who was hosting the show for a single season as well. A friend of mine, who loves the game as much as I do if not more, said that somehow neither Gadecki nor Friel were successful in hitting it off with the global poker community.


Another friend said that it was Shanna Hiatt, who hosted the show for three seasons, was the one to gain the sympathy of poker players worldwide. Its' too bad that she left the series on really bad terms. I heard that Hiatt sued WPT producers claiming that they tried to prevent her from participating in NBC's rival poker show, 'Poker After Dark.'


Anyone has any information on the reasons behind Gadecki's possible retirement?
