By launchpoker, Mar 17, 2006

Is three months enough time to learn how to become a professional poker player? How about enough time to learn how to at least be competition for a professional poker player? It better be if Lisa Bishop is to have a shot at winning a world wide women's poker tournament, now that she won a seat in.



The pup landlady, 37, won two qualifying seats online and now will be competing against professional poker players and celebrities who all want the $40,000 top prize and the big diamond ring that comes along with it. After only picking up a deck of cards three months ago, Bishop's wins are quite the accomplishment. She will be competing against 35 tough professional poker players in a televised event as well.
