Jeanette Lee, The Black Widow, is dangerously skilled on the pool table.

Okay, spare us the “rack” jokes, guys. Jeanette Lee is a serious pool player, and yeah, she’s seriously sexy, voted by ESPN one of the world’s sexiest athletes. But while you’re busy looking, she’ll be busy wiping the table with you.

Don’t believe us? She’ll be in town next week as part of the American Poolplayers Association Black Widow Tour (Did we forget to mention her nickname is The Black Widow?), and in addition to putting on a free demonstration and signing autographs, she’ll also be putting on a clinic for those who think they can match cues with hers.

Calendar

American Poolplayers Association Championships
August 18-27, Riviera Hotel & Casino.
APA Black Widow Tour
August 24, 2 p.m., Riviera. All events are free.

This will all go down at 2 p.m. at the Riviera Hotel & Casino on Wednesday, August 24, in conjunction with The American Poolplayers Association Championships, which started August 18 and runs until August 27. In addition to Lee, you can watch 15,000 participants duke it out for $1 million in prize money.

Lee, the official spokeswoman for the APA, has one sole purpose on her tour: To get everyone interested in the sport of pool. With her looks, talent and charisma, she’s certainly the perfect ambassador for the task. Just don’t expect to beat her at a game of 9 ball. Seriously, don’t.
