Tournament Report
| Kindergarten Teacher Gives Poker Lesson:
Heather Hafen Wins Ladies Championship
Heather Hafen, a kindergarten teacher and mother of four from Las Vegas won her first major poker tournament, defeating a field of 112 players. Hafen came to the final table second in chips and blasted through eight finalists en route to a nice payday of $7,285.
Hafen 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. Hafen's victory was all the more impressive, as she defeated the runner-up Ruby Lewinson - who was the 2004 California State Ladies Poker Champion.
Each World Series of Poker Circuit event stop hosts a special ladies tournament, in which the buy-in is $200 and the game is No-Limit Hold'em.
