The Spring Online Tournament of Champions (TOC) brought together winners from the Monday through Sunday online leagues for April, May, and June — and the competition was fierce! A total of 60 players entered this special combined event, and the top 3 finishers earned a coveted seat to the National Championship for the Clash of Kings and Queens, along with a $200 travel rebate.

Congratulations to our champions: Bonnie Bona (IL), Susan Thorpe (IL), Debbie Kinney (NJ) Way to go, ladies! You didn’t just win — you dominated the final table and showed the boys how it’s done.

Also making the Top 10 were: Suzzanne Barsaloux (IL), Katie Goode (IL), Carolina Miles (ND).
he women absolutely crushed it in this one!

Speaking of Incredible Women in Poker... A massive shout-out to Leo Margets, who just made the final table of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event — becoming the first woman in 30 years and only the second woman ever to do so! Leo is no stranger to success, with over $2 MILLION in live earnings, she also captured a WSOP bracelet in 2021, winning a No-Limit Hold’em event that drew more than 1,900 players. An absolute inspiration to women in poker everywhere — Leo proves that skill, focus, and determination know no gender. Here's to all the queens of the felt — past, present, and future!
