Her first big score in came at the 2006 WPT Championship when she bubbled the television final table and finished in 7th place for $263K. One other notable high finish includes the PokerStars WCOOP Main Event where she finished second for a little over $700K. She has shown a knack for finishing high in preliminary events at the major tournament stops as well.
