Salon Owner Mixes With Poker Stars

While Lucia Barrett didn’t run away with the first place purse at the Caribbean Poker Classic on the paradise island of St Kitts, her experience is a good reminder that there are many benefits to being a seat winner these days. Barrett snagged her seat at the event by winning an online satellite tournament, a story that is becoming very familiar these days. The online site paid her entry, flew her to St. Kitts, and even gave her a thousand dollars spending money. While she didn’t blow away all the competition, she did do well, and more than that, she had a very memorable experience. Star watching is one of the benefits she enjoyed, sitting at a table with former Celtic footballer Tony Cascarino as well as Hollywood actress-turned-poker ace Jennifer Tilley. Not only did Barrett outlast Tilley, she was the second to last woman competitor in the field, and made it to spot 50 out of 125 players. Not bad for an Internet player, but Barrett thought she should have done better, pointing out it was bad luck that did her in. Related Links Jennifer Tilly
