In the mid 1980’s, women were considered no factor in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and other than the famous rounder and professional gambler Thomas “Amarillo Slim” Preston, poker players rarely made headlines in the mainstream press. That all changed when Wendeen Eolis became the first woman to cash at poker’s “Big Dance.”
In the 1986 WSOP Main Event, Eolis battled some of the best players in the world, including Amarillo Slim, in a field of 141 runners. She was on her way to a 25th-place finish for a $10,000, return on her buy-in, and permanent bragging rights as the first woman in history to cash in the WSOP Main Event.
Eolis attributes her 1986 WSOP performance to a year of poker tutoring from one of the best, a “relatively” conservative game plan, and cooperative cards. She told PokerNews, “Even today, women can win more by bluffing less than men.”
The action folded around to Sam Laskowitz in the small blind who ripped all in with the big stack at the table. James Scott was in the big blind and called off his stack of 44,500,000 as he was at risk.
James Scott:
Sam Laskowitz:
The flop came to give Laskowitz a pair of threes but Scott was still in the lead with a pair of fours. The and runout did not help Laskowitz as Scott found another double up.
