Ladies Poker Party Dominated by California Woman

The Ladies Poker Party at the Bicycle Casino's Ladies Event is heating up this week, as Californian Kelli Griggs battles her way through a field of 419 players, to take the top cash prize.

In addition to the money, Kelli will be chosen as a part of the World Poker Tour's Ladies Night IV.  This affords her the chance to compete at the end of this month, the month of August, with such women's poker greats as  defending Ladies Night III champion Jennifer Tilly, in addition to Vanessa Rousso, Anahit Galajian JJ Liu, and Erica Schoenberg.

In the tournament that this mother of two is competing in, of all of the winning money, ten percent will go to a breast cancer foundation. This especially fits in with Kelli’s on life experience since her grandmother died of breast cancer and her aunt is currently fighting the malady. She herself has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and has been overcoming it for four years. It is no surprise then that this successful competitor has already  included $2 500 of her own winnings as a part of the money being given.

Kelli won a a single table satellite last month, and that is how she financed her seat at the 2006 WSOP Ladies Event. With 1,128 woman competing, Kelli managed to reach 59th place and finished in the money of the record Ladies Event.
