Kerryjane Craigie runs a very tight ship, as Head of Poker at Hippodrome Casino and it seems she runs an even tighter one here at the RDS in Dublin.

She ran into our photographer and recounted an interesting situation she found herself in when in the ladies' toilet on break.

Ladies' bathrooms are sacred at poker events

She was standing in there when four guys walked into the wrong bathroom. When she told them to get out, the reply she was given was, "We're French!"

This obviously didn't cut the mustard with Craigie so she protested and they added, "Have you never been in a men's bathroom?"

"NO!!" ended that conversation. -- MC
