Event 5: First Lady

PLO ($300 + $50, 1 re-entry)

Ehrlich is Every-woman

Often times we highlight the last woman standing in a tournament. Today we honor Shelby Ehrlich (NYC) as the only woman in the field.

"It really does surprise me that I'm the only one here," she says while playing in her first PLO tournament. Ehrlich has played PLO at the cash tables, but was sick of NL hold'em and entered this event as a "change of pace."

Ehrlich was down to the felt and all-in but survives on a chopped pot with both players holding 6 9 for the bottom end of a straight. Not sure how much longer she'll be around, but either way she's both the first and last woman standing.
