Notable Information

Just last weekend, Susan Faber became the first woman to win an open tournament during the 2019 WSOP when she took down the $500 NLHE Salute to Warriors event. Yesterday, Tu Dao became the second when she won the $3K LHE 6-Handed event.

Born in Vietnam and now a Canadian citizen, Tu “Stephanie” Dao lives in Toronto. The 44-year-old poker pro with three children finished fourth in the WSOP Ladies Championship in June. She said cash games are her “bread and butter” but recently tried tournaments again and trained with fellow poker pro and friend Benjamin Underwood.

Dao said her children tracked the tournament online and were proud of her. The win made her “very excited and happy,” but she was anxious to get home to see her children and dogs again.

With the WSOP Main Event down to 35 players, the payouts are significant at $261,430, but the next jump is at 27th place, which starts the $324,650 payouts.

The UK’s Nicholas Marchington leads the pack, followed by Germany’s Hossein Ensan and former chip leader Timothy Su. PokerStars Senior Manager of Player Relation, Engagement and Communities Garry Gates is also in the top 10, as is longtime Italian pro Dario Sammartino.

Countries still represented in the Main Event also include Serbia, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Austria, Japan, Romania, Argentina, and Spain.
