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.

That’s because your history of comments regarding women is bizarre and pathetic and begs for mocking. 😆

Its just your nature. You’re no different than any other woman. Can’t help it. Its how you all deal with unpleasant truths. Have a good one.

Wow, it’s almost like men can lie too. It’s almost like the professions most dependent on being able to deceive (e.g. politicians) are dominated by men. Oh wait...

So wives/girlfriends are more likely to lie than husbands/boyfriends? Link please.

Heres just one:

https://psychology.cornell.edu/news/women-told-more-white-lies-evaluations-men-study

Women lie more because they are weaker. They can’t physically intimidate men to get what they want. So they lie and manipulate to get what they want. And to cover up things that will make them look bad. You all care more about social optics and fitting in so its a natural trait of women to lie more.

Makeup
False eyelashes
False nails
Colored contact lenses
Wigs and hair extensions
Tanning lotions and/or lightening creams
High heels
Spanx and waist cinches
Butt lifts
Liposuction
Boob jobs
Face lifts
Neck lifts
Cosmetic dental procedures
Lip fillers
