The fifth annual National Championship moved to Harrah��s Cherokee in North Carolina for the first time, and Harwood, who bought her way in for $10,000, bested one of the WSOP Circuit��s most accomplished players, Alex Masek, in heads-up play to win the title for $341,599.
Fun Fact: Daniel Negreanu made the final table, ultimately finishing in sixth place for $63,647.
