Tournament Report
A Walk on the Wilder Side *
*Lisa Wilder Wins Ladies Bayou Poker Championship *
* *
* *
*New Orleans, LA (May 17, 2009) – *The 2009 Bayou Poker Challenge presented
the ladies championship today. This was the 19th of twenty scheduled gold
ring events completed at Harrah’s New Orleans. The $300 buy-in No-Limit
Hold’em tournament increased buy-in from previous years, when the entry fee
was $200. Despite this, the ladies event attracted a strong field of 189
entries for the one-day competition. An interesting stat: About 60 percent
of the field was from Texas.
The ladies-only tournament was presented in coordination with the
High Heels Poker Tour (www.highheelspokertour.com) which promotes and
supports women in poker. The HHPT brought along a large contingent, which
boosted attendance and made for a fun and festive event. Note: The HHPT
also runs poker academies designed for women around the country.
The tournament winner was Lisa Wilder. She works as a secretary from
Mobile, AL. Wilder loves to play poker in her spare time. This was her
first time to cash in a major poker tournament.
Wilder started the final table as one of the lowest stack sizes. But
she gradually took command of the finale and won an event which lasted 16
long hours and ended at 5 am.
Wilder won first place prize money totaling $14,189. She was also
presented with a gold pendant and a crystal trophy, in recognition for
winning a WSOP Circuit event.
