Because all women poker players need a makeover

LAS VEGAS – June 6, 2007 – Harrah’s License Company, LLC, an affiliate of Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc (NYSE: HET), today announced a first-of-its-kind prize package for the winner of the upcoming WSOP Ladies Championship.

In addition to winning the highly-coveted World Series of Poker gold bracelet and the lion’s share of tournament cash, this year’s Ladies Champion will receive an exclusive, high-end Corum watch as well as unique benefits from the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks. The winner also will participate in a Harrah’s exclusive lifestyle and makeover event called “The New You” from Nely Galan, creator of “The Swan.”

The WSOP Ladies Championship is a three-day event with a $1,000 buy-in. It begins at noon Sunday, June 10 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.

“The competitive spirit and great skill our players bring to the table is an enormous part of the WSOP’s success, and this special prize package demonstrates how much we value their commitment to us,” said WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack.

The Ladies Championship bracelet, designed and manufactured by Corum, the Official Timepiece of the WSOP, features four black diamonds, two rubies and 87 blue sapphires. Corum also designed the champion’s bracelets for the other 54 events at this year’s WSOP. The Corum watch that goes to the Ladies Champion is an Admiral’s Cup Competition 40, a Swiss-made, 12-sided stainless steel case time piece with signature nautical pennants as hour markers that is water-resistant to 330 feet.

From the "Somebody put that cocaine in my pocket" department
 When Clonie Gowen plagarizes it's somebody else's fault.

Full Tilt Poker sends out regular "Tips from the Pros" by email from the "pros" that are affiliated with their site. Last week a "Tip from the Pros" was sent out by Clonie Gowen. It was a tip concerning Re-buy strategy titled, "Clonie Gowen Presents: 'How Many Re-Buys?'" dated April 10, 2006.

There was one major problem with the article - the first paragraph was plagarized from an article by Josh Supsak (aka JSup) that was written for www.cardrunners.com and posted on www.pocketfives.com on 10/6/2005. ...
An explanation From: Clonie Gowen
...
There is definitely no excuse for my actions, but I want to add a slight bit of clarification. It is important that you know that I employ an editor/collaborator, as many pros do. Rick Fuller edits most of my writing, which is something I will definitely reconsider moving forward. In a moment of very poor judgment, when editing this tip he added some copy that was obviously taken from another source - an action that goes totally against my professional ethics. In so doing, he created a tip that under no circumstance I would have submitted knowingly. He executed extremely poor judgment, as did I by not proofing the final version.

See the orignal for links and the rest of the story.

This says volumes, not just about Clowie Gowan, but about the ethical atmosphere among Full Tilt management. At least it does to me, maybe it doesn't send that message to you.

It's tough to have to write 400 words every couple of months all by yourself.
