Almost 60% of the women who played were members of HHPT and earned a collective amount of $200,000 in various tournaments. Two ladies ended up on the final table at the Ladies Only Event. They are Debbie Mitchell from Miramar, Florida who collected her cash earnings for the second time. She landed on the 6th spot and earned $45,000. The other woman who made it was Marla Crumpler from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She bagged the 5th spot and became $60,000 richer. The tour has an exclusive tournament for ladies which give them a competitive environment to play in.

However, no tournament is spared from issues. In one HHPT event, some men decided to participate. This was managed by Faila offering a bounty.
