Born in Russia, Svetlana Gromenkova now calls New York City home. Undoubtedly the most experienced player at the table, Gromenkova has nearly $140,000 in career tournament earnings. Most recently, she finished seventh in the U.S. Poker Championships main event at the Taj in Atlantic City and cashed in the $10K buy-in main event of the 2008 L.A. Poker Classic. Gromenkova has also made four final tables in limit hold��em events at the Bicycle Casino��s Legends of Poker and at the Borgata Winter Open. She also cashed in this event last year, finishing 27th. This is her fourth WSOP cash and her first final table.

Roz Quarto has her work cut out for her, arriving at today��s final table as the short stack. An attorney from Edison, NJ, Quarto has made five final tables in live events, her biggest finish coming in second at the 2006 WSOP-Circuit Ladies event in Atlantic City. Notably, Quarto ran the 1994 Gay Games sports festival in New York City, which was attended by over 15,000 athletes from 50 countries. This is her third year playing in the WSOP and her first cash.

Patty Till is no stranger to the final table of a ladies tournament. She finished 2nd at the WSOP-Circuit Ladies Event at Caesars Indiana just two months ago, besting her 17th-place finish in the same event two years prior. A medical device sales rep, Till hails from Avon, IN, where she lives with her husband Rob and her three children. Like last year's champion Sally Anne Boyer, Till is a recent graduate of the WSOP Women��s Academy, led by Annie Duke, and those lessons are surely paying dividends for her right about now. This is her third year playing in the WSOP and her first cash.
