An Emotional Level

Jun 10, '07

The ladies event started with some big names in the field including pros Vanessa Rousso, Isabelle Mercier, Maureen Feduniak, Evelyn Ng, Kathy Liebert, Mary Jones, Karina Jett, Jennifer Tilly, J. J. Liu, Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh, Clonie Gowen, Patty G., Marsha Waggoner, Erica Schoenberg and Susie Isaacs.  Hollywood was well represented with celebrities Shannon Elizabeth and Cheryl Hines.  Also playing in today's event is Shirley Williams, the mother of professional David Williams, final table participant Vanessa Selbst, 2006 ladies event final table participant Devi Ortega, Nikki LeTran and Marlis Sawicki.  Even some of the media has joined in to participate including Amanda Leatherman, Lisa Wheeler and Heather Borowski. 

So far the ladies have been playing cautious.  In some cases, absurdly tight.  Over in the corner of the room, an interesting hand took place between three unknowns.  With the blinds at $25-$50, the UTG player open shoved all-in for $1,500.  The button thought for a few seconds before re-shoving all-in for $3,400.  The big blind instantly and proudly mucked KK face up for all to see.  The UTG player showed down QJ and the Button showed KQ.  Embarassed, the big blind stated that one of them must of had Aces and spent the remainder of the hand shaking her head in disbelief.  I did too.  The board came KJJ42 and the UTG player caught trip Jacks to double up.  The silence at the table was incredibly uncomfortable and a once chatty table took a few minutes before coming back to life. 

The ladies event has certainly brought out the nicer side of the players.  Some of the bustouts have even been followed by hugs and emotional goodbyes. 

Evelyn Ng was the only notable bustout in the first hour.
