Jonathan Duhamel, a 23-year-old who put his finance degree on hold for a shot at the poker big leagues, isn't your average poker star, even by recent standards.

On Nov. 8, Duhamel became the first Canadian to win The Main Event at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. It was just Duhamel's second entry into the tournament, where he claimed the $8.94 million prize.

The Famous Women of Poker

The World Series of Poker first offered a women’s-only event in 1977. And every year since, the WSOP has been proud to offer an event exclusively for the ladies and with a prestigious gold bracelet on the line.

 
For the first time, a special personalized WSOP bracelet will be awarded to the ladies champion, featuring pink sapphires and black diamonds, created by hand by On Tilt: Steve Soffa.
 
Since 2005, the event has been and remains a $1,000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament. However, the event originally started out as a Seven Card Stud tournament, with a buy-in of $100.
 
While the game of choice offered was Seven Card Stud from 1977 through 1999, the buy-in has only been at $1,000 since 1992. From 1982 through 1991, the ladies event had a $500 buy-in. From 1979-1981 it was $400 and in 1978 the buy-in was $200.
 
In 2000, the game variation changed for the first time in the event’s history, offering a ½ Limit Hold’em, ½ Seven Card Stud event. This event format stayed constant through 2003.
 
In 2004, the ladies event was just a Limit Hold’em tournament. In 2005, it switched to No Limit Hold’em, which it has remained.
 
Here’s a look at the last decade of the ladies event.

2009 Lisa Hamilton $195,390
2008 Svetlana Gromenkova $224,702
2007 Sally Anne Boyer $262,077 
2006 Mary Jones $236,094 
2005 Jennifer Tilly $158,335
2004 Hung Doan $58,530 
2003 Barbara Rugolo $40,700 
2002 Catherine Brown $39,880 
2001 Nani Dollison $41,130 
2000 Nani Dollison $53,200

Year of the Women?  
Read more

Tracking open events, 2010 may indeed end up as the “Year of the Women” in tournament poker. After a very successful showing in open tournaments thus far this year, the ladies are looking to continue their early-season success by doing well at this year’s World Series of Poker. With 21-year-old Annette Obrestad, (the inaugural winner of WSOP Europe in 2007) set to make her Las Vegas WSOP debut, the focus on the females has never been greater.
