She doesn't play ladies only events because she can make more money playing other events.

This is the last year there will be a bracelet for the WSOP ladies' event.

Roundcat, where did you hear that?

From Annie, yesterday at a WSOP Academy ladies only class she was instructing. (Don't let the avatar fool you -- he's my muse; I'm a girl.)

It makes sense. The ladies event and senior event are open only to a limited subset of players, while other events are open to anyone over 21 who wants to buy in. It's condescending to say that women and/or seniors need their own events in order to win a bracelet.

BTW, the WSOP WOE increases each year, and not only that, when I was there in 2005 it drew the most spectators as well (and I think that trend is continuing based on a comment over at Bluff magazine where they said that the crowd of spectators is huge there).

The ladies event is scheduled for video coverage, which means (if Bluff hasn't changed anything) a sequestered set with NO spectators.

Michelle Lewis Eliminates Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso moved in with her last 1,625 and Michelle Lewis called in the small blind. Rousso's dominated Lewis' , and after the flop and the on the turn it looked like Rousso would double up, so long as she could avoid Lewis' gutshot draw. And that's when the spiked on the river to give Lewis the wheel and knock Rousso out of the tournament.

Anyone know if this is the interviewer Michelle Lewis?

Vanessa Selbst was involved in a 7K pot with a board of {J-Spades}{A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} when she made a turn bet, and while the other player pondered, Vanessa showed her {10-Clubs}. Her opponent called for the floor and the correct decision was made --- Vanessa did not have a dead hand but she would get a one-round penalty after the hand. The player called and the river brought the {5-Spades} and when the player moved all-in Vanessa called and showed {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, but her opponent showed {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for the rivered boat.
