I know we have a thread for tournament success updates, but I think this is just too important and historic and deserves it's own thread.
Jennifer Shahade, who we all know is a games genius and creator, an author, a chess champion, a teacher, a mentor, an innovator, Poker Stars' Mind Sports Ambassador and now a World Champion. The first Open Face Chinese Poker High Roller World Championship finished up in London tonight and she, honestly unsurprisingly, is the champion.
Well done and very, very happy and proud of my dear friend.

I was looking for a post about this but didn't see anything in the NVG section. I know this is a big place but thought this news would have been easier to spot. I guess the main event will attract more attention due to the record breaking size of it.

This is great news though and looking at the video clips above, looked like a high percentage female turnout? Could OFC be a gateway game into the poker world?

I loved this, and only afterwards noticed the 'Part 1' mention. So excited for Part 2, and there should probably even be parts 3-25 as well
