Diaz, 33, said that Ellen totally changed her life when she introduced her to the rules and now she can’t have enough of this game, attending casinos and tournaments on a regular basis.

"I'm addicted to it. I do like the casino a bit. I find myself at a casino every once in a while just walking through going: 'What am I doing here?' That's so desperate - I'm in Tunica, Mississippi (at casinos)”, Cameron confessed.

“I remember the night (DeGeneres introduced me to the game) as well. I remember the phone call: 'Come over and play Texas Hold 'Em. I said: 'I don't know how to play Texas Hold 'Em. She was like: 'None of us do, come on over.'

We sat around a big table. What time did we get done, like four o'clock in the morning? I took everybody's money that night!
I took second (place), but I did actually win because I never bought back into the tournament. The guy who beat me bought back in like five times.", Diaz recalled.
