Kyna England Claims Women’s Event Title
On Monday night, the $360 NAPT Women’s Event, a tournament that attracted 94 entrants, played down to a winner. The top 13 finishers got a piece of the $28,200 prize pool including Poker League of Nation’s Lena Evans (6th - $1,705), Jessica Vierling (12th - $565), and JJ Liu (13th - $565).
Coming out on top and winning the first PokerStars Spadie awarded in the United States in 12 years was none other than poker pro Kyna England, who took down a $7,520 top prize. Prior to the victory, England had $995,910 in career tournament earnings, which meant the win put her over the seven-figure milestone on the Hendon Mob.
