2019年，綽號「美女賭神」的趙蘇茜以火辣外型與出色的撲克實力橫掃美國各大賭場，一度單局狂贏400萬美元，十賭十贏，風頭無兩。她來自優渥家庭，是美籍華人，天資聰穎，自小熱愛撲克遊戲。大學畢業後，她專心投身職業撲克生涯，在2012年拉斯維加斯的世界撲克大賽（WSOP）中奪冠，一戰成名，並擠進全球前90名的職業撲克選手之列。

然而世事難料，風光一時的她僅在一年後，於2020年慘遭殺害。美國警方在伊利諾州白湖鎮（White Lake）一處偏僻地點發現一具被燒得焦黑的女性遺體，死者雙手被反綁，法醫解剖後證實其生前曾遭鈍器重擊下體，並有性侵跡象。死者身分確認為趙蘇茜，消息震驚全美撲克圈。

警方很快鎖定兇嫌：61歲、有多項前科的賭徒莫里斯（Morris）。據調查，莫里斯曾在賭局中慘敗給趙蘇茜，對她心生怨恨。他設局誘騙趙蘇茜到其住處，趁其不備用棍棒將其打昏，進一步實施性暴力與殺害。為了毀屍滅跡，他向屍體潑灑大量汽油，點火焚燒。最終他被警方逮捕，並在審訊中承認犯案。

趙蘇茜的悲劇震撼社會。一位原本前途無量、擁有智慧與美貌的女子，卻因財富與名氣招來殺機，慘死於一名怨懟交加的暴力流浪漢之手。這起事件也揭示了賭場世界中潛藏的危機與黑暗面：即便是最閃耀的明星，也可能在不經意間成為犯罪者的目標。趙蘇茜的故事是一場從榮耀到悲劇的轉折，不僅是個人命運的隕落，更讓人深思賭場光鮮背後的隱憂，以及名利之路所伴隨的風險與代價。

In 2019, Zhao Suxi, famously dubbed the “Goddess of Gambling,” shocked the poker world with her fierce skills and magnetic presence. With her striking beauty and razor-sharp mind, she dominated high-stakes games across major U.S. casinos, once famously winning $4 million in a single round. Her winning streak and fearless style earned her a place among the top 90 professional players globally after clinching a major title at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas in 2012. Coming from a well-off Chinese-American family, Zhao was a prodigious talent who turned her passion for poker into a glittering career.

But just a year after her meteoric rise, tragedy struck. In 2020, authorities in White Lake, Illinois, discovered a charred female body in an abandoned area. The corpse was severely burned, hands bound, and forensic analysis revealed blunt force trauma to the lower body along with evidence of sexual assault. The victim was soon identified as Zhao Suxi. The gruesome nature of the crime shocked the public, especially given Zhao’s once-glamorous and seemingly invincible persona.

According to investigators, the perpetrator was 61-year-old Morris, a man with a history of violence and gambling addiction. Enraged after losing a significant amount of money to Zhao in a prior game, Morris had lured her to his residence under false pretenses. Once there, he attacked her with a blunt object, tied her up, and carried out a brutal assault. He then doused her body in gasoline and set it on fire in an attempt to destroy evidence and conceal the crime. He was swiftly arrested and later confessed to the murder.

Zhao Suxi’s fall from the dazzling heights of the professional poker scene to such a horrific end is a haunting reminder of the hidden dangers that can accompany fame and fortune. Despite her intelligence, wealth, and success, she fell victim to a predator lurking in the shadows of the gambling underworld—a realm where envy and obsession can breed fatal consequences. Her story continues to resonate as a tragic tale of brilliance extinguished far too soon, and of how even the most seemingly powerful figures remain vulnerable in the face of unanticipated evil.
