Woman complains over loss of first place in women-only poker tourney to man

Story here. Suppose if a woman were in a "men-only" poker tourney (which as we know would not ever exist in a public forum) and she won it, and then the runner-up complained, do you suppose he'd get a lot of sympathy? Seems women can play on men's teams but not the other way around, even when physical skills have nothing to do with it. Excerpt:

'She was among more than 260 women who each put up $300 to play in the tournament, but when the dust cleared, Abraham Korotki, 65, of Ventnor City, N.J., took home the trophy and $20,982 first prize.
...
"When you're a woman and you play poker, 99 percent of the time you're at a table with nine men," Rowe, who won $11,889, said yesterday during a phone interview, adding that playing against a field of women is "something I look forward to.

"Why did he have to ruin it for us? Why would he do this?"

So what was a man doing in a game clearly meant for the XX chromosome set?
...
Borgata officials said that they were not aware of any other male participants, nor were any other men pointed out by female players.

Korotki insisted that Borgata staffers never told him that he couldn't play in the tournament and insisted that he wouldn't have made a fuss if he'd been asked to stay out of it.
...
Each acknowledged that earlier in the contest Korotki, after hearing from Rowe about her illness, purposely played a weak hand against her in hopes of helping her build her chip stack (she doubled her amount by winning the hand).'

"Why did he have to ruin it for us? Why would he do this?" -- Yep, one penis at the table ruins the entire thing for all the other people in the game who actually matter.
