Lina Niu reigned as the last woman standing on December 18, winning the first-ever WPT Ladies Championship at the Wynn Las Vegas, topping a field of 578 runners.
The newly-minted champion earned a cash prize of $105,136 and a Rockstar cruise room package from Virgin Voyages for her World Poker Tour win.
The WPT Ladies Championship boasted the largest guarantee ever for a Ladies event at $200,000. The $1,100 buy-in tournament nearly tripled the guarantee as it drew 578 entrants, generating a $560,660 prize pool that was paid out to the top 72 finishers.
