Ruth Godfrey (poker player)

Ruth Godfrey was a World Series of Poker champion, winning the 1981 400 dollar Ladies Limit 7 Card Stud event, and the article also records that she won the 400 dollar Ladies Seven Card Stud event at the 1981 Super Bowl of Poker. Her total tournament winnings exceeded 25,000 dollars. The English Wikipedia article on her is very short: it gives no birth date, birthplace or nationality, so this entry is limited to her World Series of Poker title, her Super Bowl of Poker win and her tournament earnings. Her title came in a Ladies event, one of the women-only events of the series, and the World Series of Poker is the competition that defines this group of athletes in the atlas.
