Perhaps then it was inevitable that somewhere, someway, and somehow, a man would enter the ladies championship and manage to win. That dark day (for women) finally arrived at a WSOP Circuit event when Greg Sessler, a 22-year-old student at UC-Davis won the latest Ladies Poker Championship at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe.
...
Sessler, who is studying communications and film in college, justified his participation into the ladies event by saying that this was his first and only day off in two weeks. He badly wanted to play in a poker tournament, and the ladies championship was the only one-day event within driving distance of his home. For the record, there were four men who entered the tournament.
The reaction to these men from women was generally favorable. However, when three of the four men busted out, the women broke into spontaneous applause and cheers. It’s almost unheard of for an entire room of players to clap (gleefully) when others bust. But that’s what happened on three occasions in this tournament.
But it didn’t occur a fourth time, as it was Greg Sessler who got the last laugh.
