Barbara Enright: A Classic Example of Outstanding Women in Poker

Almost every successful woman in poker has something quite interesting to tell. One of them is professional poker player Barbara Enright. According to her, she started her passion for the game when she and her older brother would play five card draw games. She eventually lost to her brother in almost each and every game that they played. This led to a deeper desire of eventually becoming a better player than her sibling.

As the years passed by, Enright's desire for the game of poker increased. To answer this unquenchable desire to play the game, she tried playing in the different poker rooms offered by casinos and other gambling establishments. Because she had a good background of the game, she immediately excelled in what she was doing. She won various tournaments on her own.

Her fame as a good poker player soon spread. She tried to join major poker events such as the World Series of Poker. Much to her surprise, she has already earned several gold bracelets from this major poker event. She has also made it into the different pages of poker history books by being the sole female player to have ever reached the final stages of the World Series of Poker's main event. All these achievements prove that Enright is indeed one of the most outstanding women in poker.

Enright has already accumulated a lot of money from playing poker, amounting to almost $800,000. She has also established a pretty impressive record that includes 11 first place finishes in various poker tournaments. She loves to play more of the Pot Limit Hold'em games as well as the No Limit Hold'em poker.

The brilliance of Enright as a poker player was first seen by the public in her classic performance at the 17th installment of the yearly World Series of Poker event. She had an impressive debut in professional poker by winning the first prize of the Limit 7 Card Stud event. This victory was a preview of what people would expect on Enright for the next few years to come.

In 2007, Enright once again amazed the poker world with her stellar performances at various tournaments. These include a 12th place finish at the Hold'em Mixed Limit/No Limit event at the First Annual Binions Poker Classic, a third place finish in one of the major events of the Legends of Poker tournament, and another third place finish at a Ladies No Limit Hold'em event of the Fall Poker Round Up.

Enright has proved her worth in the world of poker. She showed the world that women can truly be a big part of the game. Her unique strategies and deep understanding of the game have made her one of the most outstanding women in poker. Her life served as a good example for younger female players who want to make it big someday in the world of poker.
