In conjunction with International Women\u2019s Day, the World Poker Tour<\/strong> announced several new ladies events<\/strong> on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new events are scheduled throughout Season XXI<\/strong> and the announcement comes after the first WPT Ladies Championship was held in December at the Wynn in Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the announcement, the tour outlined dates for the second version of that tournament<\/a> as well. The schedule also includes several tournaments at international stops.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt WPT we take pride in the efforts we have put forth to increase women\u2019s participation in poker,\u201d WPT CEO Adam Pliska<\/strong> said in a news release. \u201cAs we recognize and celebrate International Women\u2019s Day, we look forward to these record-setting initiatives throughout Season XXI and seeing more women play in our events around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A look at the WPT ladies schedule<\/span><\/h2>\n

In Season XXI, ladies events will be held at 13 WPT festivals<\/strong>. That includes seven tournaments at WPT Prime stops and six at Main Tour stops. The grand finale will again be the Ladies Championship at the WPT World Championship festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

Numerous women are a part of the leadership team at WPT, tour officials noted. Vice President of global tour management Angelica Hael<\/strong> was a 2022 Women in Poker Hall of Fame inductee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some other key female leaders in the company include Vice President of finance Deborah Frazzetta, Vice President of marketing Hermance Blum, executive producer Mandy Glogow, and Vice President of studio, distribution, and ad sales Loc Sondheim.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFostering the presence of women in poker has always been a natural part of the WPT ecosystem,\u201d Hael said. \u201cThis year, we are proud to present dedicated ladies events at an overwhelming majority of our global festivals, culminating with the 2023 WPT Ladies Championship<\/strong> at Wynn Las Vegas.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    In other tour news, Sheng Ye<\/strong> came out on top in the second WPT Prime Gold Coast<\/strong> on Sunday night. He topped a record-breaking field of 1,224 entries in the AUD $2,000 buy-in main event at The Star Gold Coast in Queensland.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Ye grabbed AUD $374,953<\/strong> for the win, which also includes a package to play in the season-ending WPT World Championship in December.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Just a month after Prime Paris broke the \u201cnon-championship\u201d Prime entries record with 1,071, the Gold Coast event topped that by 153 entries. That entry total produced a prize pool of AUD $2.2 million. Ben Richardson<\/strong> finished runner-up, securing AUD $238,978.<\/span><\/p>\n

    WPT Prime Cambodia<\/strong> at NagaWorld Integrated Resort in Phnom Penh is next up on the tour. The festival runs March 9-21 with the $1,100 main event set for March 16-20.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
