Jennfier Tilly Wins Second Ladies Night Championship
06th of September 2005
Many tournament poker players seek the spotlight by winning a championship game; some already have the spotlight, and want to show their fellow players they are more than just a pretty face. Actress Jennifer Tilly won her second major tournament Thursday at the Bicycle Casino in Las Angeles, California, and put all doubts to rest.
"I felt like I was suffering from the 'impostor syndrome,'" said Tilly. "I had these niggling self-doubts. But now I know I can really play. These women were extremely tough pros with blood lust at the poker table." Tilly was so elated with her victory she leapt up from the table after her win.
Tilly is an Acadamey Award nominee for her role of Olive in the Woody Allen film, Bullets Over Broadway, and has been in many popular films such as Liar, Liar. Born in Britich Columbia as Jennifer Chan, Tilly moved to L.A. after college.
