Barbara Enright tops Cleopatra tournament
Barbara Enright braved the field of 165 women who anted up the $340 buy-in for the tournament. Enright wasn't the only inaugural inductee into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame to enter the tournament either. Marsha Wagoner and Susie Isaacs were also in attendance. While Wagoner and Isaacs were eliminated during the nine hours of play it took to get to the final table, Enright survived and was sitting third in the chip count Third in chips, however, still left Enright holding less than half of what the chipleader, Donna Dougherty, was holding. Dougherty held onto that lead during the final table up until play got down to four handed. Four-handed play dragged on for an hour as Dougherty's lead was chipped away. A big blow came against Linh Vuong, who took half Dougherty's chips during one hand. Then Dougherty called an all-in move by Enright. Dougherty seemed to be sitting well with pocket fours against Enright's 9-8, but Enright spiked a nine on the flop and her bigger pair held up to eliminate Dougherty in fourth place. Next out was Bea Hinton, leaving Enright and Vuong to battle heads-up. When heads-up began, Vuong had a slight chip lead over Enright, but after getting lucky and catching a five to pair her K-5 again Vuong's K-T, Enright took the lead. Several hands later, Enright was finally able to finish the match as well. Enright called Vuong's all-in bet with pocket fives against Vuong's 6-2. On a board of K-J-3-4-2, Enright's fives held up for the win. The final-table results were:Place Name Hometown Prize 1st Barbara Enright Los Angeles $15,558 2nd Linh Vuong Dallas, Texas $8,163 3rd Bea Hinton Las Vegas $4,802 4th Donna Dougherty Wilminton, Del. $3,841 5th Garilyn Nelson Ogden, Utah $2,881 6th Anie Lepaye Las Vegas $2,401 7th Barbara Payne Washington State $1,921 8th Sheila Raines Freemont, Calif. $1,440 9th Michelle Richey Las Vegas$960 Action in the WSOPC Caesars Palace stop continues today as the main event begins its second day of play. As always, Las Vegas is the place to be if you want to see some familiar faces with your poker actions. Day 1 brought out quite a few poker pros who don't normally take on the WSOPC events. Among those who didn't make it out of Day 1 were Jeff Madsen, Erik Seidel, Erik Lindgren, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Scotty Nguyen, David Singer, Erica Schoenberg, Amanda Baker and more. There's still plenty of stargazing to do when Day 2 kicks off at noon today. Among the 54 that survived with Steve Wong, Danny Wong, Justin Bonomo, Mark Newhouse, David Levi, Alex Kravchenko, Nenad Medic, J.C. Alvarado, Bill Edler, Allen Cunningham and more. Poker fans can follow the action as the PokerListings reporting team brings the best live updates, reports, photos, interviews and more to be found online in the Live Tournaments section. With the World Series of Poker fast approaching, the best place to see the pros in action will be in Las Vegas in the coming months. While PokerListings will be on scene to provide updates for that as well, there are plenty of ways for poker fans to make it to the events themselves as well. PokerListings offers exclusive poker promotions through several poker sites such as Titan Poker, Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars, PartyPoker and more that will send players to major events around the world including the 2008 WSOP Main Event.
