WPC Showdown Caters to the Growth of Women Entering Competitive Poker Tournaments
Womens Poker Club Announces their next Major Women's Poker Tournament
(PRWEB) March 3, 2005 -- The Next WPC Showdown Tournament is to be held April
14 - 16, 2005 at Trump’s Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
With four
tournaments, optional poker classes, a seminar, and a satellite tournament for
the World Series of Poker ladies event, the WPC Atlantic City Showdown promises
to be the one of the most exciting and anticipated events for women’s poker this
year.
“Even though more women are playing poker now then ever before,
some men still feel that women are easy targets and don’t have the ability to
finesse their opponents at the tables.” Said Maryann Morrison, President of
Womens Poker Club. “The WPC Showdown gives women an opportunity to show their
poker playing talent by competing in major poker events, while having a
tremendous amount of fun.”
The Womens Poker Club was formed to encourage
more women to enter the sport of poker by providing them with a supportive and
congenial environment to improve their skills. They offer peer mentoring, free
poker classes, and league events for women only. The club has over 1800 members
world-wide.
“Since the Womens Poker Club’s inception, I have witnessed
many members develop their play from a beginner’s level to where they are now
playing semi-professional. Women can be tough poker contenders, and I expect to
see many more of them at final tables everywhere this year.”
Women have
an opportunity to win their trip to the WPC Showdown for as little as $5 through
competing in online satellite tournaments available exclusively at
Pokerhost.com. The satellites are being held until the end of March.
The
main tournament event of WPC Showdown will be played on Saturday, April 16th, a
No Limit Texas Holdem Tournament with a buy in of $150+$20. The prize pool is
estimated at $15,000.
Omaha hi-lo, Limit Hold’em, and 7-card Stud
Tournaments will preclude the main event. Plus women can play to win their entry
at the Ladies event of the World Series of Poker.
WPC Atlantic City
Showdown is open to all women.
