Just a few months after getting a career-best score at the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, Valerie Novak found herself making another run at it in the WPT Venetian $5,000 buy-in Main Event in Las Vegas.
Novak, a business owner and part-time poker player from Maryland, was one of just 36 players who survived to see Day 3 of the championship event, finding herself among top crushers like Robert Mizrachi, Marius Gierse, Jerry Wong and Hossein Ensan.
