She's a Survivor

Level 3
Ruth Hall, living her dream.
Ruth Hall, living her dream.

We found Ruth Hall playing, happily seated at Daniel Negreanu's table. A glare from her wrist caught our eye and it was her Ladies Championship bracelet from the Golden Nugget she won in 2009.

Hall is wearing breast cancer survivor hat and we stopped to talk with her a bit. She is a 12 year survivor of the disease and was "bald as a baby's butt" as she was going through her battle.

"I had to go through four different kinds of chemo and am in remission now," Hall said. "But look at me, I'm living my dream playing here," motioning towards Negreanu.

Hall took 18th in the 2010 WSOP Ladies Championship and plays with the LIPS tour.

"I really like this game because I feel like guys aren't trying to steal my blinds," said Hall.
