Nível 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was picked up with around 40,000 in the pot and a flop of on the table. Royce Baker fired for 30,000 from early position. David Dowdy raised to 85,000.

After Baker spent a few minutes in the tank, the player to his left called the clock. Not too long after, Baker moved all in, and Dowdy made the snap call as the player at risk.

David Dowdy:
Royce Baker:

Baker was ahead with his set, but Dowdy's nut flush draw gave him plenty of equity. Unfortunately for Dowdy, who previously this summer made the final table and finished runner up in Event #27: No-Limit Hold'em Shootout, the turn and river did not offer him enough help, and he was sent to the rail. Baker scooped the pot to add to his stack, which is now among the biggest in the room.

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

Nível 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

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.”
