Though the Wicked Chops guys might say the world is coming to an end, I beg to differ.
A woman won the WPT Invitational last night! Van Nguyen, wife of Men \”The Master\” Nguyen, made it to the final table as the only woman left, and she took it down. Men and other friends, like Young Phan, were in the audience rooting her on. She won $125,000 and a seat into the WPT World Championship in April.
While it wasn\’t a normal open event – it was an invitational freeroll – she still got through a field of 445 players. Not too shabby!
There were four women going into the final table of ten players, but they were eliminated before the TV table was set.
All I can hope is that she didn\’t use her husband\’s line, \”All you can eat, baby!\” during the tournament. It takes on an entirely different meaning when a woman says it.
Details of the sloooooooow final table were documented by the WPT Live Updates team.
