The poker pro and purported part-owner in the world's second largest online poker room, Full Tilt Poker, is winning big....but it ain't at Full Tilt.

Wicked Chops Poker had this to say about Clonie Gowen:

She's got two six figure wins under her belt in 2008, for a woman.

She's got a $40 mil lawsuit in the works that kicks the crap out of just about any divorce settlement, for a woman.

And she's killing it at the ridiculously long-named (copy+paste) WPT Doyle Brunson Five Diamond Poker Classic, for a woman.

No news on whether Doyle Brunson will welcome Clonie to become one of his celebrity poker players at Doylesroom.com

The former Miss Teen McAlester, Oklahoma filed suit in Nevada court against Tiltware LLC, the software company associated with Full Tilt, asserting breach of contract among other things. She seeks damages of 40 million dollars.

As of 2008, her total live tournament winnings exceed $1,500,000
