PokerStars has revealed details of its next major ladies only tournament – the Women’s Caribbean Adventure.<\/p>\n
The $1,100 buy-in event will take place on January 14-15 during the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) festival at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.<\/p>\n
The world’s biggest poker site says it will be “one of the most prestigious female-only tournaments in the world” and invites women to follow in the footsteps of Vanessa Rousso, who won the event in January.<\/p>\n
Rousso earned close to $25,000, the largest share of an $88,270 prize pool, for beating a field of 91 players.<\/p>\n
It comes less than a week after Taiwan-born pro Maria Ho backed women’s only tournaments after controversially claiming that women poker players are ‘scared’ to play at the same table as men.<\/p>\n
Pokerstars, like other leading tournament sponsors, deny such events are sexist and have always claimed that men could enter women’s tournaments if they wished – but generally choose not to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
