WSOP Day 34 - Man Makes ladies Event Final Table

There have been some funny appearances and lost prop bets resulting in men playing in the Ladies event at the WSOP in recent years but it's now really beyond a joke or any kind of interesting political statement for men to play in the Ladies event.

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.
