ELISABETH BUISSON
Elisabeth Buisson, our first Pink Ladies Champion hails all the way from Australia! Elisabeth won her entry, round trip airfare and hotel accomodations by playing a Pink Ladies Poker Tour tournament hosted by Aussie Hold Em Poker in Newcastle, Australia! This was her second visit to Las Vegas since 2004 when she played poker for 4 straight days on 13 hours of sleep! She continued to play poker after that trip with a passion, traveling all over Australia. In 2008 she was the winner of the National Pub Poker League that included a trip to the Crown Casino in Melbourne. The following year she won a $65 satellite tournament to an event at the Aussie Millions. Elisabeth then went on to take 3rd place in the Aussie Hold Em, the largest tournament down under. Elisabeth enjoys spending her time traveling and playing poker, her dream is to one day play in the Aussie Millions, and by the looks of it, I think she’ll make it!

Lisa, Kitty, Tonya, Susan, Donna and G
Championship Valley Center, CA – The winner of the 2010 Harrah’s Rincon Ladies Poker Championship is
Susan Rhodes, from Las Vegas, NV. She is a social work supervisor, who also happens to
take poker very seriously. Rhodes has previously won several poker tournaments — mostly
notably events held at the Nevada Poker League, The Eureka Open, and with Card Player
Cruises. Rhodes also final tabled the Ladies Championship at the L.A. Poker Classic.
But this win was clearly her most satisfying victory. Rhodes won the $100 (+25) buy-in No-
Limit Hold’em tournament which was held at the Harrah’s Rincon Casino and Resort, near
San Diego. She collected first-place prize money totaling $5,993. Rhodes was also
presented with a gold pendant, which is equal in stature to a gold ring, the ultimate prize
awarded to all winners of World Series of Poker Circuit tournaments.
“I have to give thanks to my best pals who were here with me,” said Rhodes moments
after her win. “I also want to thanks the ladies I consider to be my mentors – Linda
Johnson, Susie Isaacs, and Jan Fisher.”
This year’s Harrah’s Rincon Ladies Championship attracted a large field of 242 players. In
fact, this was one of the best-attended ladies tournaments held this year on the WSOP
Circuit. The top 25 finishers received prize money. It was a one-day tournament which
began at 4 pm on March 27th and played deep into the night. The last hand was dealt out
at 4:15 am.
The runner up was Leah Wasicka, from Loveland, CO. She is the sister of top tournament
pro Paul Waskica, who among his many accomplishments was the runner up in the 2006
WSOP Main Event. Among those who participated in the Ladies Poker Championship at
Rincon was Barbara Enright, a three-time WSOP gold bracelet winner and the only female
member of the Poker Hall of Fame.
