Storypoker at SI

Musicstar Fullhouse in the Maag Eventhall. Three candidates are waiting for the showdown. Then the last card is revealed. Fabienne takes the Musicstar pot. Sandra and Brian go away empty-handed. Not quite. We noticed the cover story of Schweizer Illustrierte. It's not Queen Fabienne who graces the cover. Wild Sexy Sandra got the free card, to stick with poker lingo. What happened? Is Schweizer Illustrierte defying Musicstar? The answer in the editorial: "We don't know who became Musicstar; the decision was made a few hours after this issue went to press." Editor-in-chief Urs Heller was playing story poker. "He had threes, how lucky can you get?" a player would say. Heller went all-in with Sandra and holds a "weak hand" this week. But in poker, you can shear the sheep several times. And Urs Heller will be looking at his cards in round 11. Next week, the SI poker face will be betting on Fabienne.
