2025 Becomes the Year Women Dominated Poker’s Biggest Stages

The year 2025 marked a historic turning point for women in poker. Across major tournaments, female players secured unprecedented victories and shattered long-standing records. Their achievements spanned high-stakes events, prestigious titles, and record-breaking performances.

Early in the year, Xuan Liu made headlines by winning the $25,000 WPT Global Slam at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in Montenegro. Her victory marked the first time a woman had claimed a Triton Poker title. Months later, Leo Margets reached the WSOP Main Event final table, finishing 7th for $1.5 million—the first woman to do so in 30 years.

Shiina Okamoto continued her dominance in the WSOP $1,000 Ladies Championship, securing her third consecutive win. Each year, she outlasted a field of over 1,200 players, matching rare feats like Adam Friedman’s three straight Dealers Choice titles. Meanwhile, Esther Taylor made history by finishing third in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, becoming only the second woman to cash in the event. Elsewhere, Jennifer Shahade earned the largest live cash of her career, taking third in the NAPT Main Event in Las Vegas for $291,800. Giedre Valgemae turned a $15 satellite entry into $142,000 by winning the GGPoker Masters. Jenny Westerlund also triumphed in the WSOP Circuit Main Event in Tallinn, defeating a record 888-player field for $233,524. By year’s end, Kristen Foxen had climbed to the top of the All-Time Female Money List, overtaking Vanessa Selbst as the highest-earning woman in poker history.

These results highlight a surge of female success in poker’s most competitive arenas. From satellite victories to elite championship wins, 2025 saw women claim some of the game’s biggest prizes. Their performances have set new benchmarks for future generations in the sport.
