Caribbean
Dream as Mum Plays Cards Right
As reported by the Scotsman:
"It is a game normally associated with
millionaire playboys and the casinos of Las
Vegas.
"But
a hairdresser from The Grange is about to take
on the world's leading poker players in a challenge
which promises a £1.4 million prize to
the winner.
"Mum
Lucia Barrett will jet off to the celebrity
paradise island of St Kitts later this month
to take part in the world's most glamorous tournament
- the Caribbean Poker Classic.
"The
amateur card sharp, who owns a hairdressing
salon in Ratcliffe Terrace, won her entry into
the big game after becoming one of the growing
army of women who play the traditionally male-dominated
game of poker online.
"...Mrs
Barrett said: "Online poker is a fantastic,
fun hobby and even though you always enter in
the hope of winning I never dreamt I would get
the ticket to St Kitts.
"'Even
if I get knocked out of the tournament immediately,
I will still be able to soak up the sunshine.
Everyone says St Kitts is an absolute paradise.'..."
