Cycalona Gowen, better known as Clonie, grew up in Kiowa, Oklahoma. She may have been a small-town girl, but that didn't hold her back. A high school jock, she was on a state championship basketball team and was ranked 7th in the high jump. At the age of 15 Clonie was crowned Miss Teen Oklahoma, proving that she's got the whole package -- beauty, brains, athleticism.

Now a 32 year old mother of two, Clonie lives in Dallas, Texas. She loves to scuba dive, mountain bike, and spend time with her family.

A relative newcomer to the world of tournament poker, Clonie burst onto the scene by following up her Top 10 finish at the WPT Costa Rica Classic with a win at the 2003 WPT Ladies' Night. She's working on her game and expanding her tournament schedule, so watch out for this up-and-comer.
