Congratulations to Vanessa Hellebuyck - Ladies WSOP 2010 Champ

It seems every year that a few men infiltrate the 22nd event of the 2010 WSOP, the Ladies No Limit Hold'em Championship game, and this year was no different. The men are strongly discouraged from playing but not actually banned from the game. To many women it really didn't matter, especially to France's Vanessa Hellebuyck who came out on top to win her first WSOP bracelet.

Some of the men actually try to look like women when they play in this game, like Shaun Deeb who sported a pink dress, straw hat and lipstick! Deeb explained his reason for playing in this event was that he lost a prop bet and if he happened to win any money in the game it would be donated to a charity benefiting female causes.

We also tend to see more female celebrities and this event saw a few like Cheryl Hines and Cheryl David.

Final table results:

1. Vanessa Hellebuyck - $192,132
2. Sidsel Boesen - $118.897
3. Timmi Derosa - $74,389
4. Allison Whalen - $53,944
