Player Profile: Wendeen Eolis
Eolis was the first woman to cash in the World Series of Poker Main Event back in 1986, and when she finished in the money in 1993, she also became the first woman to log a second Main Event cash.
Adding four further cashes in the WSOP to her poker CV she was nicknamed the 'Grand Dame of Poker' by WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack in 1997, and in 2006 was also appointed to the WSOP Players Advisory Council.
Playing today, and seated with 38,000 in chips, Eolis will be looking to capitalise on the great start she has made to Event 54 to cement her spot as truly the Great Dame of Poker!

Sometimes, Begging Works
"You have ace-king? You wanna race? You wanna race?" Tran asked.
"No."
"You have a pair? You have a pair?"
"You've stolen so many of my blinds. Give me a walk. Let me steal the blinds this once," came the response.
Tran finally took pity on his opponent, and laid down his hand. Just don't expect that play to work a second time.
Flack-Tastic
With the action on Flack on the button he opened to 1,400. The small blind tank folded, to put the action on the big blind.
"Don't think I can sir" he stated as his cards went into the muck.
Flack angled his cards slightly when he folded so that a black ace was flashed.
"Your ace was good sir" stated the big blind.
"You saw the ace of diamonds I see" said Flack as he dragged the pot while the table burst into a bout of laughter.
