Her name is Masterka7x, she hails from Poland and she left the male players at the Poker Race Trophy semi-final at Monza in her wake.

Masterka7x (Poland), G Mendez (UK), Ragnash (Australia), ..Mr77.. (Sweden), STAMFORD05 (UK), doubleclubs (Latvia), illusionista (Italy) and DK_DONKEY (Denmark) battled their way through the online freerolls on fun.PokerRoom.com to contest a final table spot at Monza.

Two of them busted before the blinds had even risen to 100/200 and at the next blind level, Masterka7x took the lead after her pocket Kings held up against G.Mendez's AJ allowing her to double up.

This would not be the last fight of the night between these two but was the turning point for Masterka7x, who grew in confidence with every hand.

The next person to take her on was the young doubleclubs from Latvia. He shoved holding A2s, but was called and then crushed by the Polish shop assistant who flipped over pocket fives.

It was then time for the all important heads-up between Masterka7x (23,400 chips) and G.Mendez (16,600).

After a quiet few hands, G.Mendez went all-in with deuces. The Pole called with A7 and the coin flip ensued. It looked good for the young Englishman, with a blank board for the flop and turn.

Sadly for him though, the turn brought a seven to crown Masterka7x as the first female semi-final winner.

She will now battle it out with 4erkess, DoggyP75, Puggy82, Marky_Crash and VikboBosse at the final table in Vienna on November 29 where the players will do battle for a first prize of $285,000.

The poker magazine from Monza will be broadcasted on Friday at 8pm on Eurosport and repeated on October 31 and November 9.
