Hello Ladies!
![[user250068]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome to the Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship. Last year’s winner, Yen Dang, outlasted a field of 936 players to claim victory along with a $170,587 prize and her first gold bracelet. In an attempt to make this a true ladies event this year and prevent men from entering, the WSOP increase the buy-in to $10,000 with ladies receiving a 90% discount.
Just because the field is made up of women doesn’t mean it is any less difficult to navigate. In the past, this event has drawn many of the most well-known female poker players including: Vanessa Selbst, Kara Scott, Kathy Liebert, and 2005 champion Jennifer Tilly.
The cards will be in the air at 12 p.m. Las Vegas time and we will be here to cover all the action straight from the tournament floor. While you are waiting for updates from the field, here is Sarah Grant with your June 28th update.
