I gotta wonder here, if a MAN had won this event, and reacted the same way during the winners interview, if you guys would be going on and on and ON about it like you all are doing now with Katja winning this event (and her later reaction to it in the interview), not to mention all the 'she's hot' comments that I never see you guys saing about male players (insert wicked grin here, I couldn't resist that one guys).

Seems to me that just because she's a woman you guys all think she should be all emotional and such about her win.

Point is, I've seen a lot of guys act not affected at all by their win (aka not visably excited), yet I've seen nothing said about them.

Are you guys saying you'd cry, get emotional, and be all over the place in an interview if you won a poker tournament?

Inquiring minds want to know.

By GOD, for once, tell us what to say to NOT appear sexist when a woman wins a bracelet!!

"Nonplussed " means "perplexed" or "bewildered" not "indifferent."

In my 5 years reading this site that's the most shocking thing I've read.

I thought the post was trying to be clever by saying she wasn't being discussed enough on Two Plus Two.

Here's my Katja Thater WSOP story.

I was behind her, with about 60 people behind me, squeezing through a bunch of people on both sides of the rail.

The 50k event is too expensive.

not particularly hot and probably bad at poker. That being said, she seems like the coolest woman to win a poker event in a long time. Just an awesome interview.

hanger= hangover?
