Hello, Ladies

There were just over 400 players seated when this event began, and that number has since worked its way up to 484. The tournament staff says they're keen to surpass the 606-player field that assembled for this event last year.
The average age of the entrant is likely a little higher for this event than most at the WSOP, as is the percentage of women in the field. Our first quick count found at least 22 ladies seated, accounting for about 4.6% of the population here in Amazon sections Orange and Tan. If you add the dozen-or-so massage therapists that are meandering around the section, it's quite a co-ed event here.
Most notable among the women in our field Jennifer Harman. Harman has won more than $2.6 million in her tournament poker career, but it's her cash game prowess that sets her apart as one of the best players in the world, gender irrelevant. She plays all the games with all the best players in the world.
Her biggest career cash came in a WSOP Circuit event, finishing runner-up to Doug Lee in the 2005 $10,000 WSOP Circuit Championship. She's won two WSOP bracelets, too, and another one in 2012 would snap a ten-year dry spell.
