LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Professional poker player Dan Bilzerian is no stranger to the spotlight, but usually its for his hard-partying antics, not his card-playing acumen.In April, for example, he threw a porn actress from a roof into a pool while she was naked during an adult magazine photo shoot. She broke her foot and threatened to sue him.He wasnt charged, but video of the incident and a sarcastic letter from Bilzerians lawyer to the actresss attorney garnered heaps of attention.The letter, signed by lawyer Tom Goldstein and posted online by celebrity news website TMZ, said the actress willingly signed up for the stunt. Goldstein suggested she gather up all her belongings and prepare to give them to Bilzerian if she sued, because he would likely win.Then he will probably blow it up with a mortar in the desert, Goldstein wrote.Blowing things up in the desert is what may have landed Bilzerian in jail this week.The 34-year-old dubbed the King of Instagram after amassing millions of followers was arrested Tuesday night at Los Angeles International Airport on a Las Vegas warrant accusing him of possessing bomb-making materials.Bilzerian was released Wednesday and is scheduled to appear in Las Vegas Justice Court on Jan. 9 to face two felony counts. If convicted, he could face up to 6 years in prison and a $5,000 fine for each count.His lawyer, David Chesnoff, had no comment except to say Wednesday that Bilzerian and Jeremy Guymon, who is also charged with possessing explosive materials, were looking forward to their day in court.Bilzerians popular Instagram account is consistently filled with photos of a playboy lifestyle: private jets, scantily clad women, piles of cash, guns, and Bilzerian shooting those guns in the desert.The criminal complaint ties Bilzerian to an investigation of an explosion in a remote desert area near Vegas. The Bureau of Land Management called Las Vegas police detectives Nov. 4 after the agency discovered a field of debris from an explosion on BLM land near South Las Vegas Boulevard.Las Vegas police spokeswoman Laura Meltzer said the investigation is ongoing and she couldnt say what evidence linked Bilzerian to the blast.

Lee also shot 69 in the event sanctioned by the European and Australian tours. Woods birdied the par-5 15th to open a two-stroke lead, hitting a wedge from about 120 yards to 4 feet. LOS ANGELES -- Josh Beckett and Adam Wainwright were both on their game in a pitching duel that exceeded all expectations. Pinch-hitter Justin Turner delivered an RBI single in the eighth inning off Wainwright, and the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the St. Louis Cardinals 1-0 Thursday night in their first meeting since last years NL championship series. Beckett pitched seven sharp innings in his showdown with the Cardinals ace, who held the Dodgers hitless through five. Left fielder Matt Kemp helped Beckett by throwing out a runner at the plate in the seventh. Beckett scattered four hits, walked two and struck out four. The right-hander has a 1.34 ERA over his last seven starts, a stretch that began with his no-hitter in Philadelphia on May 25. His season ERA is 2.11 in 15 starts. "I knew it was going to be tough, but I dont think I deserve very much of the credit," Beckett said. "My defence really picked me up tonight, and we got a late run off of a pretty tough pitcher." Juan Uribe, just off the disabled list after missing 34 games with a right hamstring strain, led off the eighth with a single and advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Drew Butera before rookie Miguel Rojas infield single put runners at the corners. Turner, batting for reliever Brian Wilson, came through with his 20th RBI of the season. "I think hes used to that. Hes gotten some big hits for us this year," Kemp said. "Hes always ready to hit, and tonight he got the big hit. It was a battle today. It was a battle of the pitchers -- two good pitchers going at it, and we had to wait out Wainwright." Wilson (1-2) tossed a perfect inning and Kenley Jansen got three outs for his 24th save. "Thats how playoff games usually are -- 1-0. When we play them, its always two good teams going at it," Kemp said. "I think our pitchers match up with their pitchers, and vice versa. Weve had some battles over the years, and theyve gotten the best of us the last couple of years. But hopefully we can grind it out and see them in the playoffs again this year." The Cardinals won 97 games last season, five more than Los Angeles, and beat the Dodgers in the NLCS. Wainwright won Game 3 at Dodger Stadium. This time, Wainwright (10-4) took a hard-luck loss, giving up five hits while going the distance for the 19th time in 201 regular-season starts. The right-hander was runner-up to Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in last years NL Cy Young Award voting. "I think one run would have bbeen enough tonight the way he was throwing the ball," said Cardinals second baseman Mark Ellis, a former Dodger.dddddddddddd "He was typical Wainwright. He has four above-average pitches and throws them wherever he wants. He knows their lineup and how to throw those guys." Wainwright walked his first batter, Dee Gordon, then retired 15 in a row before Rojas led off the sixth with a clean single to left field. Beckett followed with a Texas Leaguer to right, and Allen Craig made a diving catch with the outfield playing shallow against the pitcher. Gordon followed with a bloop single to left, but Yasiel Puig grounded into a double play. Puig, the NL player of the month for May, is batting .242 with no homers, six RBIs and 25 strikeouts in 25 games since his last home run on May 28 against Cincinnatis Homer Bailey at Dodger Stadium. Craig hit a two-out double in the seventh, just beyond Puigs reach on the right-field warning track, then tried to score on Jon Jays sharp single to left. Kemp charged the ball and threw a perfect strike to Butera in front of the plate for a sweep tag as Beckett thrust both arms over his head in jubilation. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny challenged the call by umpire Vic Carapazza, but a replay review upheld the decision and the game remained scoreless. "I wasnt surprised they sent him. Right there in the late innings, its do or die," Kemp said. "I got a good jump on it, got to the ball quick and threw it. Butera made a good tag and we got the out. Defence is just as important as offence. Defence won us that game today." NOTES: Cardinals RHP Joe Kelly, on the DL with a left hamstring strain thats sidelined him for 66 games, is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Memphis. ... Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez missed his third straight game with a sore right shoulder and had an MRI. ...
