Keeping Men out of Ladies WSOP 2013

The WSOP have come up with a brilliant idea to prevent men from entering the ladies WSOP event for the 44th Annual World Series of Poker.

Event 51, the Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship will have a buyin of $10,000, but ladies entering the event will get a discounted buyin of only $1,000.

The WSOP 2013 gets underway today with Event 1: Casino Employees No-Limit Hold’em starting at 12:00 PM (Wed, May 29th) and runs until July 15, 2013 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas.

More than 230,000 poker players are expected to participate in the 2013 World Series of Poker, and about 95 percent of the entrants will be men.

An estimated 1,000 women are expected to enter the Ladies No Limit holdem Championship this year for an estimated first place prize of about $200,000.

Adding to the long list of poker pros selling their prized possession including: Brad Daugherty, Eskimo Clark, T.J. Cloutier and Peter Eastgate.

Jamie gold won the bracelet in the $10,000 main event beating a field of 8,773 players subsequently winning the largest WSOP prize to date of over $12 million of which he only got half of after a settlement of a lawsuit against Crispin Leyser.
