There are a few previous Ladies Event champions in the field today, but one that will not be making a "third times a charm" win is Catherine Connaughton. Back in December Catherine won the Ladies Event for the second time in a row. Late last night Connaughton won her seat into today's Event #9 ($1,200 No-Limit Hold'em) and is taking her chance in that field, rather than go for a third win in a row in the ladies event. Regardless of which tournament she is playing, there is no doubt Ms. Connaughton is definitely "one to watch."
Below are a few photos from today's field of ladies (and one man):
