Below are the results for the 2013 World Series of Poker Key. Elected to the Poker Hall of Fame (#/#) This denotes a bracelet winner. The first number is the number of bracelets won in the 2013 WSOP. Event #51: $1,000 Ladies No Limit Hold'em Championship. 3-Day Event: June 28-30. The World Series of Poker has announced its schedule for the 2013 series in Europe, which will be held near Paris, France. The WSOPE kicks off Friday, Oct. 11 with a brand new special event. Event Highlights. Kristen Bicknell Wins Event #51 and her First WSOP Bracelet ($173,922) Leanne Haas Eliminated in 2nd Place ($107,616) Julie Monsacre Eliminated in 3rd Place ($67,331).
Day 6 of the 2013 WSOP Main Event saw 68 players from the original starting field of 6,352 return to the Rio, all aiming on moving a step closer to becoming one of this year's celebrated November Nine.
From that overall total 298 were women, representing 4.7% of the field, but by the start of Day 6 just six women still remained in contention, including Australia's Jackie Glazier, Annette Obrestad, Beverly Lange, Kima Kimura, Estelle Denis, and Kristy Gazes. At the end of the day, however, all the ladies had been sent to the rail, the last of which was Jackie Glazier in 31st ($229,281), thus earning for herself the title of ‘Last Woman Standing' at the 2013 WSOP Main Event.
At the beginning of play, when asked about what it would mean to outlast her female opponents, Jackie Glazier replied: 'I don't focus on last woman standing myself. But I do get that there is a focus around it because there are so few women that play poker, but at the end of the day it would be great to see more than one female make the final table. I think we're owed one from last year.'
Glazier's comment was a reference to Gaelle Baumann and Elisabeth Hille who narrowly missed out on a final table apperance at the 2012 Main Event after finishing in 10th and 11th place respectively. Unfortunately the Aussie's wish was not to be and after becoming short-stacked, Glazier (A-Q) opted to three-bet shove for 1.9 million over the top of an initial raise of 200k by Sergio Castellucio. The Italian then made the call with pocket tens, and after lady luck failed to help Glazier on a 9-9-9-5-K board, the heart-broken Aussie found herself on the rail to a melee of sympathetic applause by the railing fans.
Following her departure, Barbara Enright still remains the only woman to have ever made a Main Event final table having finished 5th ($114,180) in 1995. Nevertheless, congratulations go out to Australia's Jackie Glazier for her impressive run at this year's Main Event, and for securing her biggest ever tournament score since 2012, when she finished runner-up in the WSOP $3k No Limit Hold'em event for $458,996. Jackie Glazier has now earned $1,188,451 playing tournament since her first cash in 2008.
There's Always One
This guy max late regging women's $1k for $10k. Pretty absurd. https://t.co/bNmzcXxj9f

Maybe the abundance of testosterone was just too much, and there was a need to take a break from high sticking and a desire to swap a cross check for a check back. Whatever the reason, Simon Després-Bellavance, a Canadian professional hockey player who is currently a free agent looking for a new home, entered the World Series of Poker Ladies Championship on Friday, paying full price for about 6 1/2 levels of play. He busted shortly after the dinner break.
Després, formerly of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins and Anaheim Ducks, was the only male to enter the tournament. Refresher: To discourage men from entering the Ladies Championship, the WSOP adjusted the rules of the event in 2013, giving women a discount to play the tournament for only $1,000, while men had to pay the full $10,000. Després put up the full amount anyway.
Ladies can thank hockey player @Despres747 for donating $10K into the prize pool today. #WSOP #HowRich
— Brett Collson (@brettcollson)Now, the first thing that comes to mind when you hear about a man playing a ladies event is that they lost a bet. But that doesn't appear to be the case. We caught up with Natasha Mercier, who was seated at Després' table.
Just hopped in Ladies event with 10bbs lighting it on fire and found the one other human lighting it even worse. https://t.co/IzXtrXfTBw
— Natasha Mercier (@natasha_mercier)Mercier elaborated: 'We asked him if he lost a bet and he said no. We were wondering why he was playing and kept trying to get a reason out of him, but he didn't really say much. Finally, someone asked if he was playing for charity, and he said 'maybe.' He was really quiet and acted like this was some kind of punishment. They broke our table soon after I got there, or I'm sure I would have figured it out.'

Whatever his reason for playing with the ladies tournament today, it was awfully kind of him to sweeten the pot.
A Different Kind of Bet Inside Ivey's Room
Mark Winchell and Andra Zachow of St. Petersburg, Florida, are betting on a long life together, as they went all-in inside Ivey's Room with a small wedding ceremony, the first of its kind for Aria's Poker Room.
They are 'all-in'. @mwin66 @andracpa
— Sean McCormack (@ThePokerBoss)Ivey's room is exclusive to a select few and some of the biggest games in town, so requesting to get married in Ivey's Room during the World Series of Poker was a long shot.
The couple has been playing poker at Aria for about four years, and they feel like they know the people in the poker room. So they reached out to Sean McCormack, Director of Poker Operations to see what could be arranged.
McCormack initially thought, 'there's no possible way,' but he went to his boss, Bobby Baldwin, and received the go ahead. After that, it was just a matter of coordinating with the wedding chapel and getting the newlyweds to Las Vegas.
Guests included 888poker Ambassador and ESPN sideline reporter, Kara Scott, Lead World Poker Tour reporter BJ Nemeth, and PokerNews' Manager of Social Media, Pamela Maldonado.
What a lovely wedding! A few shots of the beautiful bride @andracpa getting ready to take the plunge & getting some… https://t.co/qTmSdsTEMs

Maldonado asked Winchell and Zachow about their honeymoon plans.
'I guess we did the honeymoon first because we've been here a week already. We knew when our family got here that our poker plans would be kiboshed. You know, they'd be like, 'no more tournaments,' so we had to get that all in before they got here. Now we have to hang out with them and stuff, so ...'
#WSOPups
How do you top a lone hockey player amongst a field of ladies and a wedding? With puppies, of course. Because, well ... puppies.
To be fair, poker players and dogs have been a thing for awhile. But this summer, it seems all of our favorite furry family members are making their way to the hallways of the Rio, and they're doing it in record numbers.
We offer proof, for your viewing pleasure.
