"JJ" IS THE LADY CHAMP
(379) (2-September-2006)
WPT Ladies Night IV another success
Joanne "JJ" Liu took the winner's prize in this weeks World
Poker Tour Ladies Night IV tournament held at the Bicycle Casino in Bell
Gardens, California, earning herself a $25,000 seat into the WPT's Championship
Event and a WPT ring.
Defending Ladies Night champion, actress/player Jennifer Tilly was the
first player out, eliminated by amateur Kelli Griggs. Vanessa Rousso
also fell to Griggs' aggressive play when she pushed all-in from the
big blind on a flop of T-T-6, thinking her K6 was good, but ran right
into Griggs' flopped trip tens.
Liu then eliminated Erica Schoenberg and Anahit Galajian, leaving the
heads up confrontation between Lui and Griggs after only three hours
of final table play. The final act was in the same style, Liu despatching
Griggs in just over 20 minutes.
"JJ" Liu's latest big tournament victory brings to forty-five
the money finishes she has achieved in major tournaments, grossing more
than three quarters of a million dollars in the process. Her Asian antedents
will probably enhance her opportunities to earn more big money through
endorsements and sponsorships, well deserved rewards for a controlled and
professional player of great talent. |
