PokerNews Performance of the Week: Ema Zajmovic Makes WPT History

Every week, PokerNews will bring you the top performance from the previous week.

While there were many great performances last week, Canada's Ema Zajmovic clearly outshined the rest. Last week, Zajmovic outlasted a strong field of 380 players to win the WPT Playground Main Event for C$241,500 ($183,789).

Zajmovic's victory on Feb. 14 at the Playground Poker Club in Montreal, Canada might have been the top performance of the week by itself; however, the choice became easier when she made WPT history by becoming the first woman to win an open WPT Championship event in the tour's 15-year history.
