Last Woman Standing: Jackie Glazier
July 15, 2013
Among the 68 remaining players in the 2013 WSOP Main Event, only one female remains, Jackie Glazier. She started out Day 5 the only female of the 298 females who started on Day 1. Ranked 12th among all remaining players, the Australian poker pro is comfortable being the last woman standing. She outlasted other female players including poker superstar Annette Obrestad, who was knocked out in 89th place, and Kristy Gazes, who exited in the 200th position, as well as Estelle Denis, Beverly Lange, and Kima Kimura. All seven of these poker ladies went into Day 5, but only Glazier came out still in the running.
In other news from the frontline, Sami Rustomi, who has never cashed in the WSOP, hit above the 7 million mark to take the chip lead. 2012’s WSOP Main Event champ Greg Merson was knocked out in 167th place by Brett Richey.
Carlos “The Matador” Mortensen, winner of the 2001 Main Event, is the last remaining former world champion, sitting with about 2.5 million chips going into Day 6.
