Poker playing ladies: if you're feeling claustrophobic with all that football mania in
your house this weekend, why not get out and try a little competition on
your own that could be pretty rewarding. The Commerce Casino's is hosting the first
World Poker Tour Ladies event. Seeing the dramatic rise of women competing in tournament poker, the WPT has launched its official
ladies league and tour in 2008.
Arriving at Commerce Casino for the
second stop in it inaugural season, the WPTL will feature a $300 No
Limit Texas Hold 'Em Tournament on Saturday and Sunday of Super Bowl
weekend. Expected will be a mix of accomplished local players and top
female pros, all vying for the first WPT Ladies title and a seat into
the WPTL Championship in April at Bellagio in Las Vegas.
In continued support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world's largest
grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to
find a cure for breast cancer, players and spectators will have the
opportunity to make on-site donations to Komen for the Cure. |
