While the tournament is on break, give the story of Jessica Dawley a read.
Dawley won the Ladies Championship earlier this week, taking home her first bracelet and $130,230. But before her life as a fulltime poker pro, Dawley served in the Air Force from 2001 to 2007 and was stationed in the United Arab Emirates.
With a top secret clearance, some things she still can’t talk about, but her time in the military put things into perspective. "There are way worse things going on in the world than poker and bad beats. It could be so much worse."
