Katja Thater is the World Razz Champion. She is a 40-year-old professional poker player from Germany, who has become one of the top poker players in Europe. This was her first win at the World Series of Poker. Thater's victory is the first for a woman in an open WSOP event in over three years. The last woman to accomplish that was Annie Duke in 2004. Thater's win also marked the first female winner ever to be crowned at the Rio in Las Vegas.
Thater now has five WSOP cashes, and two final tables. She also made it to the final table in the Ladies Poker Championship last week, finishing in 5th place. This year in March, Thater made it already to the final table at the European Poker Tour's Championship in Warsaw, Poland.
Through 29 of 55 events, only one player has cashed five times ? Mike Binger, from Atherton, CA. Several players have cashed four times. Only one player has made three final table appearances thus far ? Humberto Brenes, from San Jose, Costa Rica.
