Leo Margets Earns “Last Woman Standing” Trophy at WSOP.

July 16, 2009

Leo Margets of Barcelona was the last woman standing at the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event for some time before she was knocked out in twenty seventh place. When she was eliminated she was presented with the Last Woman Standing Trophy courtesy of Wicked Chops Poker.

Marget won $352,832 for her 27th place finish after she was eliminated by Warren Zackey when she went all in with A-7. She was called by Zackey who held A-10 and the board did not give Marget the cards so she was eliminated.

Margets was proud to earn the trophy even though some believe it is a sexist move. The trophy includes the names of all the last women standing in each of the WSOP past events. The following ladies earned the award:

1986 – Wendeen Eolis (25th)

1993 – Marsha Waggoner (19th)

1994 – Barbara Samuelson (10th)

1995 – Barbara Enright (5th)

1996 – Lucy Rokach (26th)

1997 – Marsha Waggoner (12th)

1998 – Susie Isaacs (10th)

2000 – Annie Duke (10th)

2003 – Annie Duke (47th)

2004 – Rose Richie (98th)

2005 – Tiffany Williamson (15th)

2006 – Sabyl Cohen-Landrum (56th)

2007 – Maria Ho (38th)

2008 – Tiffany Michelle (17th)

Hopefully one day there will be no need for a Last Woman Standing trophy as a woman will win the World Series of Poker Main Event.
