A 30-year drought came to an end late Sunday as Leo Margets became the first woman since Barbara Enright to reach the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table.
Enright, a Poker Hall of Famer, was the only woman to make the final nine in poker’s most prestigious event, which she did in 1995 with a fifth-place finish for $114,180. She’s no longer part of a one-woman club after the long-time Spanish pro finally achieved the same feat 30 years later.
Previously, Annie Duke (2000) and Gaelle Baumann (2012) came close, but each bubbled the final table. Kristen Foxen went on a memorable run last year before bowing out in 13th place and was among the first to congratulate Margets on her historic achievement.
