As best we can guesstimate, somewhere around a dozen or so women started today's tournament. With 90 players left, six women are still in the field. The big question is, will one of them manage to become the 2010/2011 WSOPC's first female champion?

There was about 12,000 in the pot with a flop of 

when Will "Monkey" Souther bet 9,000. His sole opponent asked how much he had behind and Souther responded, "A lot."
Clearly not content, the young man asked about how much. "You're not going to make the dealer break down my entire stack are you?" Souther asked.
"Just give me a rough guess," the young man said. Souther started to break down his chips and acted as though he was upset he had to do so. As he was breaking down the last of his chips, the young man said, "Alright, I'm all in."
"Call," snapped Souther for a total of 52,800 as he flipped his

on the turn changed nothing and neither did the
on the river. Souther doubled to 107,000 while his opponent was clearly distraught.
"See, that is why I wanted a [expletive] count, I didn't think he had that much."
"He told you he had a lot," T.J. Cloutier said, no doubt rubbing salt in the wound. Perhaps it was for the best that their table broke just a few minutes later.

In a recent hand, Seat 1 was all in with pocket sixes against the 
of his opponent with a flop of

for Seat 1 and the river blanked, giving him the double. Apparently worried about his play, the first thing he said was, "Don't make fun of me T.J.," which was directed at his tablemate.
"I wasn't going to," smiled Cloutier. "You were ahead." Meanwhile Cloutier's former tablemate, Aaron Brandt, has been eliminated from the tournament.
