THE FINAL COUNTDOWN FOR BATTLE OF THE SEXES

Poker competition nears grand finale

The name calling has been done, sarcastic punches thrown, and the final table for six players is ready in GSM's Poker Royale: The Battle of the Sexes.

So far, the men have won every match in the series, but it all comes down to that final table where on Friday, March 4 at 9:00PM ET/PT one gender will prove once and for all who is better skilled at No Limit Texas Hold'Em. Will the men blitz the women, or can the ladies strut their stuff and walk away with the title of the stronger gender and a cash prize of $130,000?

The men took the $10,000 pot in all of the previous six episodes. Now based on their performance in those episodes, the top three point leaders for the men and women will face off for the championship. The players who earned those spots are Kathy Liebert, Evelyn Ng, Karina Jett, Antonio Esfandiari, Layne Flack and Amir Vahedi.

It has all the hallmarks of classic competitive hype. According to Liebert, "Men think women can't play poker! Well, they're going to discover that under-estimating women is a big mistake. The male ego is going to be their downfall." She continues, "These guys think women are easy to read but we women know how to deceive them and they will fall right into our web. The guys are going down."

Layne Flack says, "If poker relates to anything like it does in life, then I am sure the women will beat us down far enough to where they may pull into the lead once in a while."

Poker Royale: Battle Of The Sexes is hosted by radio personality Tom Leykis, along with co-host Kennedy, and colour commentator and poker pro, Robert
