Last year’s inaugural WPT Ladies Championship attracted 578 women who generated a $560,660 prize pool.
“We salute the many woman pioneers in this industry and are happy to be part of meaningful events that support our continued admiration.” “We greatly appreciate the incredible support of the players who participated in last year’s Ladies Championship and are looking forward to an even bigger event this year,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska in a press release. The winner is guaranteed a six-figured payday, and their achievement will be live-streamed. Lina Niu is the defending WPT Ladies Champion. The $1,100 WPT Ladies Championship takes place at the Wynn in Las Vegas from December 6-8. The World Poker Tour is again taking the opportunity to prove they value women in poker at its festival coming in December with a $250,000 guaranteed tourney just for them.
