Yes, a woman has won a WPT event. Ema Zajmovic made history in 2017 by becoming the first woman ever to win an open WPT event, claiming victory in the inaugural edition of WPT Playground in Montreal, Canada. She won $146,000 for her historic achievement. Since then, other women have also found success on the WPT, including several deep runs at WPT final tables. Zajmovic’s win remains a milestone moment for women in poker and has inspired more female participation in WPT events worldwide.
