Ladies Championship Day 2: The Money Bubble Is Looming

Welcome to Day 2 of the Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship. The tournament began when 954 ladies took their seats in the hopes of joining an elite club of gold bracelet winners. The dream remains alive for 122 of those women but the first goal of the day is to make the money. The tournament is paying 117 players, which means five unfortunate ladies will be leaving without a payday.

The field drew an impressive list of female notable players including: Vanessa Selbst, Vanessa Rousso, Kara Scott and Liv Boeree. From that list only Liv Boeree remains. Boeree has a healthy 44,600 as she continues her quest for victory. It is Chris Priday that leads the field with 96,200 and was responsible for eliminating Kara Scott on one of the last hands of evening when her aces held up against Scott’s ace king. Other notables to keep your eyes on are: Lauren Billings (74,600), Amanda Baker (56,200), Danielle Andersen (55,700) and Jackie Glazier (44,800).

The ladies return at 1 p.m. local time to the purple section of the Amazon Room for another ten levels of play. Stay with PokerNews for live updates from the tournament floor throughout the day.

Nível 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We aren't sure how she got there, but Liv Boeree is now sitting with a close to 80,000 stack in front of her. I guess the rocky start post is no longer valid since she has bout doubled her starting stack in the first 35 minutes of play.

New Discount Rule in WSOP Ladies Championship Considered Huge Success

[user153906]

Nível 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.”
