What a gal

The results are in from the Ladies Championship poker tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nev., and the winner is:

Greg Sessler.

Sessler, 22, was one of four men who entered the "Ladies Only" event.

As a spokesman for the World Series of Poker explains, "The WSOP isn't a political organization and can't be expected to get involved in debates about sexism, discrimination or other polarizing issues ... the WSOP hopes that by offering and supporting ladies-only poker tournaments ... {men} will respect and understand the spirit of competition."

Of course, women can play in all WSOP events, and there are some world-class female players. Sessler said he entered the ladies tournament because it was the only one that fit his schedule, and he really wanted to play in a tournament.

"{It} had nothing to do with trying to take advantage of the ladies or thinking it was a softer field," he said. "This was the only tournament I could play."

Fittingly enough, on the final, victorious hand, Sessler was holding a pair of ladies, i.e., pocket queens.
