The winner of Event 17 - $1,000 Ladies World Championship is Lisa Hamilton, who bested the field of 1,060 players to capture the WSOP bracelet and the top prize of $195,390. According to reports from PokerNews.com this was Hamilton's first live tournament! The 37 year old from Hawaii had her boyfriend (and great poker player) Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier on the rail to support her. Congratulations to her!
In Event 18 - $10,000 World Championship Omaha Hi/Lo 8-or-better, Daniel Alaei came out on top of the heap, having bested the 179 player field. He takes home the bracelet and $ 445,898. Others of interest to me (yes to me, it's my blog... get your own) who cashed in the event include Scott Clements, Daniel Negreanu, Greg Jamison (hey bwop your friend got paid) Annie Duke, Ville Wahlbeck, and Alex Kravchenko. Congratulations however to Daniel Alaei.
