Melissa and Joan Rivers take on The Poker Industry

In last week’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice you can see Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa take on the poker industry.   World Series of Poker bracelet holder Annie Duke was fighting the corner of the poker pros.

The two hour long episode of celebrity apprentice saw two teams working on two special challenges. In one they had to come up with some packaging and store displays for the Lifelock identity protection service. In the other, they had to sell pieces from Ivanka Trump’s jewelry line in a charity auction.

This week’s episode could feature an appearance by Phil Hellmuth, one of Duke’s biggest rivals in the poker world.

Joan Rivers has been outspoken against Annie Duke on camera, saying things such as “Annie would spit on the ground and drown her own mother in it if it gave her a step forward in her life. She’s a... She’s not a nice person.”

Gulbis, a member of Joan Rivers’ team, was the one who came up with the idea of soliciting Duke’s competition in the poker world to bid against her team. She chose Hellmuth to focus on, explaining “I want to see Annie’s reaction to seeing arguably one of the greatest poker players of all time fundraising for me, not her.”
