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 Williamson III.
