This tourney was so much fun! Plus, it was great to run into some of the ladies I used to play with a lot in the Pokerstars Women's Poker League (before the changes to the structure) in the later stages of the tourney. I'd love to see more charity events like this with prizes in the future. Thanks, Woman Poker Player, for tons of fun for a good cause! (I'm SarahB82 on Pstars btw)

Hi Ms. Eightball! I think we both won a $25 gift certificate to tenstown.com (at least according to the list above). I assume we'll get emails about it soon. Congrats on hanging in there just a bit longer than me. I had lots of fun! Happy stackin' to you, too, Dear!

Had a good time playing with you ladies. I have a question about the prizes but don't know the best place to ask, I won't use mine and would hate for it to go to waste.
