Poker Night In The Cards
It’s “Boston Rob” to the Rescue as the former “Survivor” star teaches an Early Show viewer and her friends to play poker.
Former reality star “Boston” Rob Mariano was the great manipulator from “Survivor: All Stars.” He placed second and married the winner, Amber Brkich. The couple later competed together and nearly won “The Amazing Race.”
Both experiences came in handy as Rob recently headed to New Jersey to help a group of suburban housewives desperate for a night out and a game of Texas hold ‘em poker.
