We're so pleased to see five women in the final two tables of our NLH Madness Kickoff event!
Cathy Guibal leads the pack at the moment with 1,200,000 in chips. Guibal has an impressive $123,625 in tournament winnings in her career so far with tournament results going back to 2015. A Las Vegas resident, she plays mostly daily and smaller buy-in events.
Valentin Bezik has already tripled her tracked tournament winnings with her cash in this event and is looking to make a big splash with a win and the $35,090 payout for first place. Originally from Iran, Bezik now calls Las Vegas her home. With 880,000 in chips, she's in the middle of the pack and looking to climb.
Robyn Alvis is another Las Vegas native and currently sitting with a comfortable stack of 945,000. Alvis has $99,352 in tournament winnings, so this cash will put her over the coveted hundred thousand dollar mark. Winning this event wouldn't be her first big score at Resorts World after a cash for $47,228 last year.
Gina Stagnitto is yet another Las Vegas native who has an impressive list of tournament cashes for a total of $305,661, including a 12th place finish in the WSOP Monster Stack event for $78,264. With 975,000 in chips, and years of experience, Stagnitto has a real shot at deep run today.
Gladys Landegger has the shortest stack of the ladies, but is still fighting with 700,000 in her stack. Landegger definitely knows how to run it up and with tournament results dating back to 2007 she has amassed an incredible $645,594 in tournament winnings. If the cards run her way, experience might give Landegger a big edge as the pressure increases at the final table.
