$1,650 Buy-In Championship No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Blinds 1,500/3,000/300 ante
50 players remaining, 178k avg (59 bb)

Six of the final 50 players, more than 10% of the remaining field, are women. That’s a fantastic percentage when you consider that women generally make up less than 5% of the entire tournament field.

With only six tables remaining, three of the six remaining women, Marsha Wolak, Debra Dorcy and Jean Miccio, are on the same table.

“Why don’t you tell him how you got those chips,” says Mike Raimon as he teases Christy Pham who leads the women with nearly 200k. Pham shows no emotion and Raimon quickly adds, “it’s okay we’re friends.”

Tensions are starting to build as we creep toward the final 27 who will get a piece of the prize pool.
