Hof Adds to Her Stack

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Natalie Hof opened to 160,000 and picked up calls from Cherish Andrews in the hijack and Jessica Teusl in the big blind.

The dealer showed a flop {9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and the three players checked to see {4-Clubs} on the turn. It checked to Hof who bet 210,000, only called by Teusl.

The river revealed a {2-Hearts} and Teusl checked again to Hof who thought for a minute and announced all in. Teusl quickly mucked and Hof took down another pot.

Jennifer Loman

With action folded around to Jennifer Loman in the cutoff, she moved all in for around 670,000. The button, Natalie Hof pushed over the top for around 1,400,000. The blinds folded and the ladies flipped over their hands.

Jennifer Loman: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Natalie Hof: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and with only a pair of tens for Loman, Hof's kings were good to knock her out of the tournament in tenth place.

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Preflop action had Lynh Nguyen raising to 125,000 from middle position and Sandy Tran calling from the big blind. A {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} came on the flop and Tran check-called Nguyen's 125,000 bet.

The turn was a {10-Clubs} and once again Tran checked to Nguyen. Nguyen fired out a 175,000 bet and Tran thought about it before calling.

2022 WSOP Featured Females: Meet Wendeen Eolis, 1st Woman to Ever Cash Main Event

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Wendeen Eolis
Wendeen Eolis

In the mid 1980’s, women were considered no factor in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and other than the famous rounder and professional gambler Thomas “Amarillo Slim” Preston, poker players rarely made headlines in the mainstream press. That all changed when Wendeen Eolis became the first woman to cash at poker’s “Big Dance.”

In the 1986 WSOP Main Event, Eolis battled some of the best players in the world, including Amarillo Slim, in a field of 141 runners. She was on her way to a 25th-place finish for a $10,000, return on her buy-in, and permanent bragging rights as the first woman in history to cash in the WSOP Main Event.

Eolis attributes her 1986 WSOP performance to a year of poker tutoring from one of the best, a “relatively” conservative game plan, and cooperative cards. She told PokerNews, “Even today, women can win more by bluffing less than men.”
