Parsons finishes in the money at WSOP event

Lisa Parsons has emerged as one of the top female pro poker players around. She's raking in the chips once again. Parsons, a Cedar Rapids native and 1990 C.R. Washington High School graduate, living in Las Vegas via Franklin, Tenn., has already won money during 2010 World Series of Poker competition.

Parsons placed 331st in the 2010 WSOP Event #3 No Limit Hold 'Em event last week, claiming $2,150 in prize winnings. She outlasted and outplayed more than 4,000 players of the 4,345-person field.

She is no stranger to WSOP accomplishments. In 2009, she earned a top-10 finish WSOP Ladies No Limit Hold 'Em World Championship, placing seventh and taking home more than $22,000.

She really burst onto the seen in 2008 when she placed 76th in the World Series of Poker No Limit Hold 'Em Championship. That performance followed a 33rd-place finish in the WSOP Ladies No Limit Hold 'Em Championship in 2007.
