Four Women Make Top 100

Shamus

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

With Kima Kimura's recent elimination in 100th place, that means four women have made the top 100 in this year's WSOP Main Event.

Of the three who remain, Jackie Glazier of Melbourne, Australia has the most chips at present with about 1.6 million. Glazier has numerous cashes to her credit over the course of her career with almost $1 million in winnings worldwide. She also nearly earned a bracelet last summer, finishing runner-up in a $3,000 no-limit hold'em event for a $458,996 score.

Meanwhile Annette Obrestad of Norway is currently sitting with a little under 1.1 million chips. Obrestad, of course, won the first ever WSOP Europe Main Event back in 2007, earning the title the day before her 19th birthday for a cool ��1,000,000 first prize (worth a little over $2 million). The online phenom has accumulated many live scores since to bring her career tourney earnings up over $3.8 million.

Finally Beverly Lange of Texas comes to this year's Main Event seeking her first cash at the World Series of Poker. Lange currently sits with about 575,000.

All followers of the WSOP vividly recall how both Gaelle Baumann and Elisabeth Hille �� two of five women who made the top 100 a year ago �� nearly made the final table before being eliminated in 10th and 11th, respectively.
