Cate Hall is an American poker player with over $1.1 million in career earnings. She was the 2016 GPI Female Player of the Year.
In her acceptance speech, she admitted to mixed feelings about the concept of a Female Player of the Year.
"There were 77 men who finished ahead of me in the overall Player of the Year race this year and for me to get an award ahead of 76 of them it feels to me like it has to send a message that I’m not expected to be able to compete with them.
"This is my first year playing poker full-time as a professional. I really feel like if I had been here for five or ten years that I would be able to beat anybody in the world and even if I never get to that point, I will always rather compete for that and lose than to be content with a consolation prize."
