For the Ladies

Michelle Hiers
Michelle Hiers
It's a man's world here in Council Bluffs. Out of the more than sixty players registered, we have just two ladies in the field.

Michelle Hiers is the life of the party at her table, carrying the conversation for the boys. She's not just a pretty face though; Hiers has been involved in a number of pots early on, and she has chipped her way up to 23,000 in the first level.

Donna Bryan is our only other lady registered. Donna went deep in the $200 second chance tournament on Saturday, chopping three ways for $3,500. Now she's in the big one, trying to work her way to another deep finish. She'll certainly improve on that $3,500 cash if she can manage another final table run this week.

The ladies may be outnumbered, but they're not completely on their own. Both Donna and Michelle have their husbands playing today as well.
