'Are you lonesome tonight?'

Julie Donnaz
Julie Donnaz
Mademoiselle Julie Donnaz was the only woman to register for today's Day 1a starting field. She is still alive and well in the tournament and currently sits with 45,000 in chips.

Scotty Nguyen even stopped by to greet Donnaz personally, saying, "Show them how to play some poker, alright baby!"

Of note is the fact that this is Donnaz's very first time playing live poker. In fact, she has never even held poker chips before. In an interview with a French television crew, she mentioned that she is familiar enough with the game, but has only ever played with dry pasta.
