Gazes Stares Down Competition at Ladies Night


Nicknamed "Mixed Games Gazes", Winner of the "FullTiltPoker.Net Championship" at Wynn Las Vegas, Winner of the WPT's Ladies Night V

Congratulations to Full Tilt Poker's Kristy Gazes who claimed the title of WPT Ladies Night V Champion after defeating a star-studded final table that included defending champion JJ Liu along with Mimi Tran, Melissa Hayden, and Pam Brunson.
Gazes made quick work of the competition, grabbing the chip lead and knocking Liu out on the first hand of final-table play when her full house bested the defending champ's two-pair. Gazes never relinquished her lead, and took the title – along with a $25K entry to the WPT Championship – when her pocket Kings held up against Linda Johnson's pocket Jacks.
Kristy's victory earned her entry into an elite club of Ladies Night winners, including Team Full Tilt's Clonie Gowen, JJ Liu, Jennifer Tilly, and Isabelle Mercier.
Kristy has been playing poker for 16 years, and while she’s a Full Tilt pro, and widely considered to be one of the best females in the game, she’s started playing less and less of late and taken up a different gambling of sorts – the stock market. Currently Kristy only plays one to two tournaments a month, and spends her days trading options in both American and international markets. She appears to have a certain knack for it, and hopes to one day use the proceeds in order to found charitable organizations specifically intended to help and empower women.
