Kendra Wray Eliminated in 24th Place ($5,254)

Kendra Wray Eliminated in 24th Place

Kendra Wray opened the action from the button with a bet to 6,500. Kristen Bicknell reraised to 18,000 from the small blind and the big blind folded.

Bicknell bet 25,000 on the {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop and Wray called.

Bicknell bet 43,000 when the {6-Clubs} came on the turn. Wray looked to be struggling with the decision and eventually decided to move all in with one card to come. Bicknell snap-called and the hands were tabled.

Bicknell: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Wray: {9-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {5-Clubs} river did not help Wray and she is eliminated in 24th place. This is the second person Bicknell has eliminated in this level and she is now sitting on double the average stack.

Barbara Enright Eliminated in 25th Place ($5,254)

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Barbara Enright Eliminated in 25th Place
Barbara Enright Eliminated in 25th Place

Barbara Enright lost most of her chips in a set-over-set cooler. She held {3-}{3-} on a flop {3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, but was up against Chris Priday's {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. The turn and river were bricks, and Priday won the pot. The chips stacks were very close, but after the TD counted down both stacks, Priday had doubled up, and Enright was left with just 2,000.

On the next hand, Enright posted her 500 ante, and was then all in when she posted the 1,500 small blind. It ended up being a blind-v-blind confrontation with Laura Bare, who held {k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Enright had {k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, and the board ran out {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. The players chopped the pot, but with the antes from the other players, Enright doubled up to 4,000.

On the next hand, Kristen Bicknell raised to 6,000, Enright called for the last of her chips on the button, and Bare also called. The flop was {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, and Bicknell and Bare both checked. They checked again when the {2-Hearts} fell on the turn and when the {10-Hearts} came on the river. Bicknell turned over {k-Spades}{10-Spades}, and won the pot.

Barbara Enright has won three WSOP bracelets, is the only woman ever to make the final nine of a WSOP Main Event, and is a member of the Poker Hall of Fame. Adding to those achievements with a fourth bracelet will have to wait for another day, however, as Enright was eliminated in 25th place, earning $5,254 for her efforts.

New Discount Rule in WSOP Ladies Championship Considered Huge Success

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Danielle Anderson
Danielle Anderson

For the first time in several years, a male did not enter the Ladies Championship at the World Series of Poker. The absence is most likely a direct result of the new $10,000 price tag of the event, with a 90% discount going only to ladies when they registered.

We spoke with several top female players about their thoughts on the rule, and whether it will prevent all men from playing in the future.

“The change is great because I think it’s important for women to have a safe environment where they can learn poker and just enjoy themselves," said poker pro Danielle Andersen. "The guys who registered in the past were perhaps ruining that environment for a lot of the women. So anything we can do to make it a great time and encourage more women to become more involved in poker is something I will always support. “

Although this year was a success, Andersen wasn’t convinced that this would be the end of males entering the tournament forever. “If it remains a $10,000 buy-in, surely a man will lose a prop bet or just want stir up controversy for no good reason. Hopefully the integrity of the event remains intact for the future.”
