The final table of the ladies' tournament - playing poker in a mink stole? Vanessa Hellebuyck of France (far left) won. Linda Johnson is the first lady of poker, much respected for promoting the game. Christine Pietsch didn't enter the ladies event - she was busy on the other side of the room beating the men at 7-card stud. In spite of going into heads-up with a chip lead, it was not to be.
Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about men entering women's events? I'm surprised you have blogged about it over on the Wolynski site.
Fun post as always! I always enjoy seeing your view of Las Vegas! And I'm never disappointed! Hope your week is off to a great start! Enjoy!

Great pictures. Don't know much about the game but I like the expressions in the women's faces you captured. And of course the mountain of chips...!
