Cari Bershell Takes Down Harrah's New Orleans Ladies Event
Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
While we've been covering the Main Event, another tournament has been taking place across the tournament floor . . . the Ladies Event. That event just came to an end and saw Cari Bershell of Metairie, Louisiana top a field of 70 players to capture the $4,100 first-place prize.
Sporting a PMS Pokerwear shirt with the slogan "Sorry guys, size does matter" pasted next to a graphic of a chip stack, Bershell dominated the final table, which comes as no surprise given her experience. You see, Bershell was a contestant on a poker TV show not too long ago where she won $27,000. Clearly she has some poker chops as she made it look all too easy down here in the Big Easy.
