The PokerStars leagues offer women the chances for monthly prizes in the $.10 league or the $1.10, though some players compete in both! And the numbers continue to be tallied throughout the year. At the end of 2011, bigger cash prizes will be awarded to the top league finishers, and winners of both leagues will win PokerStars Women Live Event packages. That could mean a trip to the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, the European Poker Tour London, or the EPT Grand Final!

There's still plenty of time to accumulate points and get involved in the league for monthly and yearly prizes, not to mention bragging rights.

Today, however, we're tracking the $55 Women's Sunday tournament with its $7K guarantee. And when registration closed after the first hour of competition, the numbers were:

Total players: 176
Prize pool: $8,800.00
Paid finishers: 27

The Team PokerStars Pro in action today was Germany's Sandra Naujoks, and she did so with a $50 bounty on her head for anyone who could eliminate her from the tournament. She stood her ground with an average stack for the first hour of play, but she eventually put it at risk with A?K? against the Q?Q? of tatahod, and the board of 7?6?2?4?Q? only improved that pocket pair. Tatahod grabbed that $50 bounty, and Ms. Naujoks left the event in 121st place.

Representing Russia, Rapuncel<3 won this week's Women's Sunday! With the title, she was awarded $1,892.00 for the victory. Congratulations!
