National/Global Casino Championship History: The First Female Champ

Loni Harwood
Loni Harwood

Speaking of winning a second bracelet, Loni Harwood did the same thing in 2015 when the tournament drew 122 players. The fifth annual National Championship moved to Harrah’s Cherokee in North Carolina for the first time, and Harwood, who bought her way in for $10,000, bested one of the WSOP Circuit’s most accomplished players, Alex Masek, in heads-up play to win the title for $341,599.

Fun Fact: Daniel Negreanu made the final table, ultimately finishing in sixth place for $63,647.

Ramos Doubles Through Negreanu

Blinds: 1,400/2,800/280

After Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu raised to 5,600 from the button, Jose "Aiden13" Ramos three-bet shoved from his big blind and was called by Negreanu.

Daniel "DNegs" Negreanu: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Jose "Aiden13" Ramos: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Ramos was well ahead preflop, and the flop of {6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} only improved his hand to a near virtual lock. The {4-Clubs} turn and {9-Hearts} runout secured the double up for Ramos and he took a good chunk out of "Kid Poker."

Right Call, Wrong Flop

Blinds: 1,000/2,000/200

After preflop action folded to Nick "Nickvee07" Verderamo, who had both blinds easily covered, he shoved from the button. Dustin "TexasOil777" Schoonover called off from the small blind and the big blind folded.

Nick "Nickvee07" Verderamo: {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Dustin "TexasOil777" Schoonover: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

After the cards were revealed it looked like a sure double up for Schoonover until {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop. The {q-Diamonds} turn and {3-Clubs} river were no help and Schoonover was eliminated.

Brian 'HOOKERSnPLO" McDaniel: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
