Our guest is Sia Layta — a pseudonym of a woman whose about-to-be-published book is called Black Widow Poker. It’s about the advantages and disadvantages of women playing poker. In addition, Sia is planning to enter the Main Event in this year’s World Series of Poker dressed as a man. Seth Palansky, WSOP Communication’s Director, has said that dressing in this manner is against WSOP rules and Sia will be removed from the event and her entry fee forfeited if discovered. Bob and Richard also dip into their mailbag.<\/p>\n
