WPT Ladies Championship down to final table

April 18, 2008

The ladies took over the Bellagio the last couple days to play out their inaugural World Poker Tour Ladies Championship. The 150-person field was whittled down to six on Monday, and now the ladies will have to wait 11 days to find out who the actual winner is.

Leading the pack into the final table will be Vanessa Selbst. With $182,200 in chips, Selbst has a considerable lead over the pack, with her nearest competitor being Nancy Todd Tyner with $107,400 in chips.

Selbst built up her lead steadily through two days of play in the championship. She was the chip leader after Day 1 as the playing field made its way down to the top 10 players by the end of the day.

Some of the poker pro casualties in Day 1 included Kathy Liebert, Jennifer Tilly, Evelyn Ng, JJ Liu, Shirley Williams, Anjela Brunson, Linda Johnson, Jan Fisher, Lily Mizrachi, Sabyl Cohen and Maureen Feduniak.

In Day 2, Karina Jett, Erica Schoenberg, Jennifer Carson and Emeline Boich hit the bricks to leave the following ladies at the final table:

Seat 1: Nancy Todd Tyner – $107,400Seat 2: Janice Kim – $32,900Seat 3: Cindy Kerslake – $16,400Seat 4: Vanessa Selbst – $182,200Seat 5: Donna Varlotto – $68,600Seat 6: Van Nguyen – $42,300

Selbst earned her spot in the WPT Ladies Championship by winning the WPT Ladies tournament at the Commerce Casino. She said during a WPT interview that she didn’t consider anyone in particular a threat at the final table, but it was the most aggressive players who made the final table so it won’t be an easy win.
