Clonie Gowan
Clonie Gowan was born Cycalona Gowan in a raging storm during 1971. She has not slowed down since. At the poker table, she is a force to be reckoned with, yet she is a gracious winner. Her formative years prepared her well for competitive situations.
She grew up in Kiowa, Oklahoma, winning the title of Miss Teen McAlister, Oklahoma in her fifteenth year. Her teen years were spent in Corsica, Texas.
In high school, she was intensely involved in sports. She was a powerhouse on her varsity basketball team. She also participated strongly in such events as the high jump as far as the state level.
Clonie Gowan learned poker from her boyfriend’s father. After she divorced from her first husband, she was living in Dallas. She started going to Shreveport, Louisiana to play poker on weekends.
She found that she was having a good deal of success. Before long, she was doing well enough to quit her job at a travel agency. She had gotten to have some adventurous vacations through the agency, but she was ready to move on. She was ready to work full-time as a poker pro.
