The second event was the LIPS Tour Ladies No-limit Hold'em tournament that began at 10 AM and continued until a one player had all the chips. It took almost twelve hours of play to declare a winner. The ladies came to play and win. A good turnout produced 169 entries paying the entry fee of $200 + $30. The heads up play began Sunday evening with chip leader, Jing Xia at one end and Nicole Schachrovsky at the other after Nicole eliminated Kandi Kroon in third place. Kandi goes home with an additional $3,129 for her day's work. The heads up play quickly came to an end when Nicole went all-in with a Q,Jo and was called by Jing's K,3o. The flop came 10,9,2 and Jing's King was in the lead. The turn brought a Five and the river was a Four. Jing's King ruled supreme and Jing reigns as the latest LIPS Tour Ladies Champion, Jing received $10,325, a large heavy leaded cut crystal trophy and a WSOP Circuit Event gold championship necklace. Nicole takes down the $5,694 second place money.

Event #5 began on Sunday at noon. The tournament, a $500 + $50 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em contest, started with 262 entrants. The prize pool of $127,070 will pay the winner $40,664 and payout to 27 places. Late this evening the players reached the magic 27 number and everyone left will receive some prize money. The final table will be played on Monday.

Monday's scheduled event will be a $500 + $50 Pot-limit Omaha with rebuys. The action starts at high noon in the Pacific Ballroom on the second floor of Bally's Casino. Satellites continue to play everyday and single table satellites starting at $50 begin when ten people buy seats. Stop by Paris/Bally's and check out all the WSOP Tournament action. Come to watch and stay to play. Maybe you'll be the next multi-millionaire at the 2006 WSOP Main Event all because you stopped at Bally's WSOP Circuit event and took the first step.
