Women's Poker Spotlight: Sarah Bilney

Sarah Bilney
Sarah Bilney
Playing in today's flight is Sarah Bilney, who over the last three years has become a fixture on the Australian poker scene. "Aussie Sarah" made her major tournament debut in the 2005 WSOP Main Event, where she finished 63rd of 5,619 entries, taking home over $145,000. She returned to Las Vegas for the '06 WSOP, and made four cashes, including a $50K score in the $2,500 NLHE event.

Bilney sat out the '07 WSOP and gave birth to a baby girl this past August. She's only returned to the tournament scene over the last couple of months, playing in most of the Poker News Cup and Aussie Millions events here at the Crown. She faces a tough table today, stacked with local legend Leo Boxell, high-stakes specialist Joe Reina, and the current leader of the Crown's Poker Player of the Year Race, Andrew Demetriou.
