New Discount Rule in WSOP Ladies Championship Considered Huge Success

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

For the first time in several years, a male did not enter the Ladies Championship at the World Series of Poker. The absence is most likely a direct result of the new $10,000 price tag of the event, with a 90% discount going only to ladies when they registered.

We spoke with several top female players about their thoughts on the rule, and whether it will prevent all men from playing in the future.

“The change is great because I think it’s important for women to have a safe environment where they can learn poker and just enjoy themselves," said poker pro Danielle Andersen. "The guys who registered in the past were perhaps ruining that environment for a lot of the women. So anything we can do to make it a great time and encourage more women to become more involved in poker is something I will always support. “

Although this year was a success, Andersen wasn’t convinced that this would be the end of males entering the tournament forever. “If it remains a $10,000 buy-in, surely a man will lose a prop bet or just want stir up controversy for no good reason. Hopefully the integrity of the event remains intact for the future.”
