The poker tournament is also known as the “Ladies World Championship,” since it’s limited only to female players. The conclusion of the two-day event was held on Monday, May 11th in the Horseshoe Casino in downtown Las Vegas. Doan, age 29, was born in Vietnam. She now lives in San Diego and works as a nail technician. Doan says she learned to play poker about three years ago. She won $58,530 and captured her first gold bracelet at the World Series. Doan came to the final table in fifth chip position and took the chip lead when play became short handed. It took Doan about seven hours to defeat a day two lineup consisting of Renee Wexler, Karina Jett, Tracy Phan, Sarah Casey, Jeena Burnett, Susie Isaacs, Bonnie McHugh, and Millie Shiu. Shiu, from San Jose, CA was the runner up. This was Doan’s first final table at the World Series. The event is scheduled to be broadcast sometime during the summer on ESPN.
