Friday, 16 July 2010 11:21

The last woman standing at the World Series of Poker is Breeze Zuckerman from California. She finished on day six in 121st place and won $57,102. Breeze started playing poker just about a year ago. 216 female players in this year's WSOP represents about three percent of the field of 7,319 players.

Bree is originally from Israel and just received her American citizenship she is currently attending college for a masters degree in psychology and in marriage and family counselling. This is her first WSOP and I'm sure it won't be her last.
