"Good afternoon and helloooo ladies!"
So said WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel, welcoming the huge crowd gathered here in the Brasilia Room for the start of Event 51: $1,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold'em Championship. After further salutations, Effel outlined some tourney rules, then turned over the microphone to last year's winner, Marsha Wolak, who was greeted with a warm round of applause.
"Girls… let's shuffle up and deal!" said Wolak. Cards are in the air!
