The $275 buy-in Nevada State Ladies Poker Championship Main Event attracted 317 runners, and it was 39-year-old Mikella Pedretti of La Mesa, California coming out on top to win the title and $11,999 after a three-way ICM deal.

��I��ve been itching and scratching waiting to get out again,�� Pedretti told reporters after the win. ��My vaccination came through, so I had this circled on my calendar. I��m just beyond the moon. I can��t even believe it.��

It marked Pedretti��s first major cash, and she got it while enjoying White Russians on her way to victory.

��It��s so nice to play with women, to come out to this event and see all the support of women in poker,�� Pedretti said. ��It��s just been great, and to come out of it on top was just fantastic.��
