The last woman to reach the final table at the Main Event was Barbara Enright, who placed fifth in 1995.

Leonore “Leo” Margets is making history in the world of poker.

This week, she became the first woman in 30 years to reach the final table at the World Series of Poker Main Event in Las Vegas.

“It’s so unreal, it is a dream,” Margets told PokerGO sideline reporter Jeff Platt.

She added, "How lucky I am to live this!”

The Spanish poker pro was ultimately eliminated Tuesday, finishing in seventh place. She will still take home $1.5 million in prize money.

The last woman to reach the final table at the Main Event was Barbara Enright, who placed fifth in 1995.

The 2025 tournament, the third-largest WSOP Main Event in history, began with a field of 9,735 players.

As of Wednesday, four players remained in contention: Kenny Hallaert of Belgium, and Americans Braxton Dunaway, John Wasnock and Michael Mizrachi.

The winner will earn $10 million.

Did you read the other reasons? “To present oneself in a positive way.”

And stuff like half truths and lies of omission also fall into this area. “I lied to save the relationship.” Always a great one.

Gotta be careful on FR when it gets close to the weekend. Guys here get very touchy and angry about women, especially American women. I don’t know what it is, alcohol or a bad history on the dating scene. I wonder how long they’d be allowed to post that blacks are two-faced liars and manipulative.

Women take female viagra and also rogaine.

Vaginal rejuvination surgery

Recreating the hymen surgery to fake virginity

Also, lying about marriage vows, to be faithful, to stay married in good and bad times, like sickness, financial hard times, to the poont women lie and ignore their vows and bail on marriages 4x the rate men do (of the divorces, 80% of marriages women file for divorce).

Further lies: paternity fraud.

The next time you ask yourself “why can’t I get a decent woman?” Read your posts on FR. 😆

If you really understood my posts, you’d have figured out I don’t want what passes for the typical American woman these days.

Guilt shaming doesn’t work either.
