Tournament Report

Randi Calabro Wins Ladies Championship

Randi Calabro won her first major poker tournament, defeating a field of 112 players in Lake Tahoe's L.I.P.S. championship. Calabro came to the final table fifth in chips and blasted through nine finalists en route to a nice payday of $7,283. Sandy Duncan, from Lincoln, CA was the runner up.
Calabro was delighted with her victory. She was awarded a crystal trophy and a beautiful gold pendant, given to each winner of the special 'ladies only' invitational. Calabro's victory was all the more impressive, as she defeated several very strong players, including Kathy Liebert - a former WSOP gold bracelet winner.
Each World Series of Poker Circuit event stop hosts a special ladies tournament called L.I.P.S., in which the buy-in is $200 and the game is No-Limit Hold'em. The next Ladies Championship series will be held at Harrah's New Orleans on May 24th.
