The honor of "last woman standing in the 2016 WSOP Main Event" presumably won't mean much to Gaelle Baumann, having been there before in 2012, falling short of the November Nine by just one spot in 10th place. This year, Baumann fell two days short of poker's biggest final table, but the pain of walking down the long, empty Rio hallways was just as tough.
She was the first woman to be the overall chip leader in the World Series of Poker Main Event at the start of Day 3 in 2012, and the run that followed in 2012 ultimately resulted in one of the biggest heartbreaks in poker when she finished on the November Nine bubble.
