10:19 AM ET 07.10 | Rick Tocchet and Wayne Gretzky's wife, Janet Jones, are making gambling headlines again. Tocchet and Jones, who were named in a gambling scandal that put Gretzky in an unwanted spotlight, are trying their luck in the World Series of Poker. Tocchet's name appears among those who survived the first round of the WSOP's $10,000 buy-in, no-limit Texas hold 'em main event at the Rio. Jones played on Friday, the first day, but was eliminated midway through the day, according to the Web site Gambling911.com.

I'll bet Tocchet would love to get back into coaching, as soon as he's done playing poker.

haha, rick tocchet you fool. i was skimming through the names of the remaining players on cardplayer.com yesterday and saw the name "Rick Tocchet", but i simply assumed it was someone else with the same name because i didn't think mr. tocchet could honestly be that stupid...but here we are.

Rick Tocchet doesn't surprise me, but Janet Jones Gretzky needs gambling like I need a hole in my head. She's got a gambling problem. She needs help.
It will destroy the more than comfortable life she has on what hubby Wayne has and is providing. She sounds like a bored person with nothing to do after a short lived, less than impressive movie career.
She's not only making a fool out of herself but she's destroying her husband's impecable reputation, a reputation acquired over a lifetime of blood, sweat and tears.
Hmmm.....There must be something in the water those St. Louis girls drink (Can we forget who wears the pants in the Pronger household?)!

Ribeye, I think it might be the other way around, with Tocchet doing the carpentry work, if you get my meaning. I feel for the Great One, though. He hasn't looked very happy for a while now. Something's going on. Me thinks it's the "Bored Housewives" syndrome. She needs help

You are all morons! Playing poker is nothing like betting on the sport you play. What they are doing is legal, and what they were doing wasn't. This is the way the media makes news, when there is none.

Hey, pollo loco, internet poker may not be illegal but it is pretty stupid to get involved when you're under investigation for illegal gambling. It just reinforces the suspicion you have a problem. It's like the guy who gets caught cheating on his girlfriend/wife and later he's found at the bar with yet another girl. Even though it may not illegal, he sure as hell will have a hard time explaining himself, even if "nothing" was ging on. It's just dumb.
