WPT Celebrity Invitational - Chip Counts
The WPT Celebrity Invitational is over and it's Van "The Blaster" Nguyen, wife of pro poker star Men "The Master" Nguyen, who is champion. Nguyen beat 443 "celebrities" (we use that term loosely), poker players and lucky schmucks before taking out Ethan Ruby in heads-up play to become the first female to win a WPT open tournament. For the win, Nguyen books $100,000 in straight cash as well as an exclusive interview with PokerListings.com and bragging rights in the Nguyen household.
