It just goes to show that online casinos are not just for men anymore. When online casinos first emerged, most of the players at the online casinos were men. Recently (in the past year or so) more women have been wagering at online casinos. Now, one such lucky female id headed to St. Kitts to play the final event of a poker tourney she started playing at an online casino.

She's a Mom, too. That's right, a UK 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.

Lucia Barrett will be flying to the Caribbean paradise island of St Kitts later this month to take part in the Caribbean Poker Classic.

The sometime card shark owns a hairdressing salon in Ratcliffe Terrace. She won her entry into the big game after playing poker at an online casino.

She has a great philosophy. She says that even if she is defeated early on into the tourney, she gets a great trip to a tropical paradise. Not bad for an online casino  game of poker.
