Australian professional poker player Jackie Glazier was the last lady to be eliminated in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. She is now leaving Ivey Poker, while you can track her progress in the ME at ESPN from this week.
Jackie Glazier from Wantirna, Australia is a poker professional and she also happened to be the last lady standing in the WSOP 2013 Main Event. She made it all the way through to the top 68 participants of Day 6 of the tournament, where she eventually got all-in against IPT San Remo champion and EPT 2012 Grand Final 4th finisher Sergio Castelluccio. Glazier held A:s Q:s but Castelluccio had T:h T:d and the board gave him a full house, nines over tens.
Glazier busted out in 31st place for $229,281, making her total live winnings a handsome $919,957. To date, she has been a member of Phil Ivey‘s Ivey Poker team but she leaves now; with a sponsorship agreement with Team 888Poker, she will participate in the WSOP Europe in Paris and further events, boasting the room’s colours.
