Courtney Kennedy ist die dritte Braceletgewinner bei der diesjährigen World Series of Poker (WSOP). Sie setzte sich beim $10.000 Ladies Championship Event # 65 durch und sicherte sich so ihr erstes Bracelet und $149.108 an Preisgeld.
Wendy Freedman war die Chipleaderin, als die letzten neun Ladies ihre Plätze am Final Table einnahmen. Die bekanntesten Damen am Tisch waren Amanda Baker, die dahinter auf Rang 2 lag, sowie Amanda Musumeci.
Amanda Baker startete gut und baute schnell auf, während für die anfängliche Chipleaderin bereits das Aus auf Rang 7 kam. Auch für Amanda Musumeci gab es kein Happy End, sie musste sich mit Rang 5 begnügen.
Es war Courtney Kennedy, die immer mehr Chips sammelte und damit auch Druck aufbaute. Sie saß dann auch im Heads-up Amanda Baker gegenüber. Das Duell dauerte nicht lange, zu groß war der Vorsprung, den Courtney Kennedy schon hatte. So musste sich Amanda Baker dann doch recht rasch geschlagen geben 
und mit Rang 2 begnügen, während Courtney Kennedy über ihr erstes Bracelet und $149.108 jubeln konnte.
