A little over a year ago, Ruth Hall found herself living every poker player’s dream.
Following a first-place result in a $185 Daily Deepstack tournament at the Rio All-Suite Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, good for a $34,709 score and her largest live cash, Hall parlayed her momentum into a $1,500 seat in the World Series of Poker Monster Stack event — where she promptly proceeded to make another deep run.
Playing through a massive field of 7,192, she survived long enough to secure a 625th-place finish, and her first-ever cash in an open WSOP event.
