Courtney Friel is currently a reporter for KTLA TV channel. She presented the World Poker Tour on the Travel Channel. She believes that poker and life are both based on skills, not on chance or luck. Her first day on television began at 4am and she was talking about a deadly tornado, which completely destroyed her car. She had interviewed hundreds of people and was nominated for an Emmy Award, but her greatest achievement is to become a mother of two children - Cameron and Cash.
