Hollywood screenwriter Carol Fuchs took down the 2015 WSOP Event #52: $1,500 Dealers Choice Saturday, becoming this first woman to win this year and denying the event's inaugural champion his bid to repeat.

From 357 entries, just 11 players returned to finish out event's third day with defending champion Robert Mizrachi second in chips and Matt Szymaszek holding the lead. Poker Players Championship fifth-place finisher Chris Klodnicki and Scott Clements, looking for his third final table of the 2015 WSOP, were also in the mix.

Mizrachi could do no better than third this time, as Fuchs, an amateur player who wrote the screenplay for the 2007 film No Reservations starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart, went on to defeat Ilya Krupin heads up to collect a $127,735 first-place prize and her first WSOP gold bracelet.

"I'm so overwhelmed," she said afterwards. "I'm not an idiot, I know what I'm doing and I know the games, but I don't have anywhere near the experience of a lot of these guys. I'm as blown away by this as everybody else is."
