Unfortunately Event #53 $1,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold'em Championship will be remembered for having the first man make a final table in a WSOP ladies event. On the bright side Jonathan Epstein's showing at the final table (after a decent amount of stick from the announcer) was short lived as he was dispatched in 9th place.
At least now when anyone Googles Epstein they'll see what he's really about. I don't feel as strongly about this as some do, but I really think we should just leave the ladies event to the ladies at this point and let everyone sit back an enjoy the event they way it's supposed to be. We don't see this kind of statement being made in the seniors event.
Karina Jett made a deep run in the event, finishing second to eventual winner Marsha Wolak who took down the bracelet and $192k.

I don't understand why Epstein would event want to compete in the Laddie's event. He obviously doesn't have enough confidence in his own ability to take on the men so he obviously thought that he could beat the women. However, although poker involves a lot of skill, there is a fair amount of luck involved so his thought process is flawed. It's laughable that he finished in 9th but the rules about males competing in female events really need to be looked at.
