Event #68: $1K Ladies NLH Championship made history this year by attracting a record-breaking 1,475 entries, creating a massive prize pool of $1,298,000. A total of 338 players advanced to Day 2, with 222 set to earn a share of the prize money.
Many stars of women's poker remain in the hunt for the prestigious gold bracelet and the top prize of $194,630. Keep an eye on dominant chipleader Erika Weinstein, as well as bracelet winner Maria Konnikova, who enters Day 2 with one of the largest stacks.
The field also includes former champions like Jessica Teusl and Marsha Wolak, and Rania Nasreddine is in pursuit of her first bracelet. However, the tournament has already delivered a shocker as two-time defending champion Shiina Okamoto made an unexpected early exit.
