"Sheila may be the first woman we are sending, but she will not be the last. We are also sending several women to the special WSOP Ladies tournament. We have received nothing but praise and support from our 'Girl's Club' who already play countless ladies only events on Poker.com" Paul Cherry, Poker.com Tournament Director.
Not only has MsRounders won the opportunity to rub shoulders with the world's best players, but she has managed to achieve this chance of a lifetime for the total cost of $1. After winning a $1 qualifier to get into the quarterfinals, MsRounders showed a clean set of heels, placing second in the quarter and semi finals before winning her grand final.
"For just $1, Sheila has won a package worth $12,500 and now has a shot at a prize pool of around $80 million." Paul Cherry, Poker.com Tournament Director.
Sheila told us "I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to play in the WSOP and represent Poker.com. This is a moment that I have only dreamed about and never thought would happen."
