World Series of Poker -- Vanessa Hellebuyck Wins Event No.22French Player Wins First Major Live Tournament of Her Career |
|
Vanessa Hellebuyck made the most of her third major tournament cash.
Early Sunday evening at the 2010 World Series of Poker, Hellebuyck won event no. 22 ($1,000 ladies no-limit hold’em) for a payday of $192,132.
The action started off slow on the final day. However, once Loren Watterworth exited in ninth the tabled witnessed a flurry of eliminations. Three of the first six eliminations were a result of a player moving all in and a larger stack waking up with pocket aces. As a result, the final table was over in just over four levels.
Hellebuyck held a 5-1 chip advantage over eventual second place finisher Sidsel Boesen when heads-up play began. The contest was over in just seven hands when Hellebuyck won a coinflip for the bracelet and the cash.
Hellebuyck outlasted a field of 1,054 players to bring her $8,217 career earnings to over $200,000.
Lisa Hamilton, last year’s champion in the event, also made her first career cash at the WSOP by winning the event in 2009. Hamilton has accumulated $286,203 since the win.
Hellebuyck will also have the chance to use her bracelet as a stepping stone to more tournament success.
