$1,500 Dealers Choice Win Goes to Carol Fuchs 5y592b

Nevada.

With the win, Fuchs became the first female to earn a gold bracelet this season and one of only a few female players to have earned a win during an open event. To make the win even sweeter, Fuchs is not a professional poker player and actually works as a Hollywood Screenwriter and was a former entertainment attorney.

Fuchs, the co-writer of the No Reservations screenplay, commented that it is encouraging when someone like herself, an amateur of the game and a woman, plus over 30 years of age, can win a big event such as the WSOP tournament. Fuchs stated she has much respect for what the pros do but for a non-pro to come in and win, it is encouraging for everyone especially amateur players and women.

The Dealers Choice event can feature as many as 18 variants, so players have to be on their toes during game play. During the final table, Fuchs would hang on to make the heads up round where she would face off against Ilya Krupin. In the end, she would take down the win, earn her first WSOP gold bracelet and the $127,735 cash prize!
