Providing an alternative to the standard award show green rooms, entertainment news program Access Hollywood decided to spice up this year's Emmy Awards by putting a poker game backstage for award-winning celebs. The "Access Emmy Poker Room" pitted stars against Access host Billy Bush.
A number of the night's award-winners and other famous faces graced the Access Emmy Poker Room. Donald Trump and his wife Melania popped in, but not for long. Two of the Emmy winners, Tony Shalhoub and Ray Romano, actually lost their treasured trophies in the midst of the heated poker action. Tony Shalhoub ended up wagering, and losing, his Emmy in a game against Bush. Since the Access poker games weren't going for the sort of cutthroat competition in the style of Vegas tournaments, Shalhoub was returned his hard-earned Emmy.
Ray Romano, on the other hand, lost his trophy by accident. Romano came by, played a few good hands, and then left without his Emmy in tow. The Access staff, however, caught up with Ray and returned his "Best Comedy" trophy.
Aside from just having an all-around good time, stars who played poker also put their John Hancocks on card decks earmarked for the celebrity charity auction, "Clothes Off Our Back."
