1,054 ladies each paid $1,000 to enter Event #22 of the 2010 World Series of Poker, a No Limit Hold'em freezeout tournament.
Eventually, it was Vanessa Hellebuyck of Paris, France, who was the last woman standing, and the winner of the a WSOP gold bracelet and $192,132 in cash. It was the first event for Vanessa Hellebuyck in the WSOP, and it marks also her first bracelet and first win. Not bad at all for a first-timer.
The runner-up was Sidsel Boesen from Copenhagen, Denmark, who won $118,897 for her second place finish. Sidsel Boesen looked like a favorite to win it as she started the final table as chip leader, but she lost the edge late and was not able to overcome the huge advantage of Vanessa Hellebuyck in heads-up play.
The third-place finisher was Timmi DeRosa from Los Angeles, California, who won $74,389. Timmi DeRosa was a winner in the California State Women’s Poker Championship in 2006, and is engaged to poker pro and WSOP gold bracelet winner Lee Watkinson.
The fourth-place finisher was Allison Whalen-Lannel from Atlanta, Georgia, who cashed $53,994.
The fifth-place finisher was Kami Chisholm, from San Francisco, California, who cashed out $39,860.
The sixth-place finisher was Holly Hodge from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, who won a seat to the tournament with a$150 buy-in, and ended up cashing out $29,880 for her sixth place finish.
The seventh-place finisher was La Sengphet from Dallas, Texas, who was an early chipleader. La Sengphet cashed in this same event in 2006 when she finished 23rd, but her seventh place finish earned her more with $22,728.
The eighth-place finisher was Bonnie Overfield from East Wenatchee, Washington, who won $17,520, and also marking her second ITM finish in the WSOP.
The ninth-place finisher was Loren Watterworth from Temple, Texas, who cashed $13,688
