198 women came from all over the United States of America with the same goal in mind. Each wanted to become the 2008 Ladies International Poker Series (LIPS) Grand Champion. Before the action got underway, the 44 ladies who earned their way to the event by winning LIPS preliminary championship events were treated to a special breakfast at the Palms Casino, hosted by ClubUBT.com. Speakers included Susie Isaacs, herself a LIPS champ, Linda Johnson, aka “The First Lady of Poker” and former publisher of CardPlayer Magazine, Jan Fisher and Russ Hamilton.

Four of the final table players were actually LIPS champs. Season 3’s Grand Champion Debbie Burkhead almost made it two in a row. However, she was dispatched in fifth place, earning $3,745 for her efforts. The final two players were Siriwan “Wan” Sukmekerd and Yvette Lamprecht. Yvette, a LIPS Champion from the Hawaiian Gardens Casino, defeated Wan heads-up, taking the title and earning a cruise for two to the Western Caribbean via ClubUBT in the process.

These are the final results:

1) Yvette Lamprecht - $17,285
2) Siriwan “Wan” Sukmekerd - $11,640
3) Melissa Nelson - $6,855
4) Arlene Krupa - $4,610
5) Debbie Burkhead - $3,745
6) Anne Spinetti - $2,880
7) Donna LaDuke - $2,015
8) Kellie Lambert - $1,500
9) Sharon Engle - $981
