THIS POKER FISH HAS TEETH

Poker clash was initiated by taunt

When confident poker pro Erik Sagstrom taunted the formidable women poker ace Liz Lieu by calling her 'a fish' (an easy target) during a recent online game he may have bitten off a little more than he could comfortably chew.

Lieu immediately challenged him to a heads up clash, and the two poker pros developed a "Beauty and the Beast" element to the World Poker Tour World Championship finals which took place recently in Las Vegas (see previous Online-Casinos.com & InfoPowa reports)

Last weekend saw the grand denouement when Lieu beat her male opponent in a freeze-out series of three $200 000 matches at the new Venetian poker room, taking home a $600,000 paycheck.
