Just before the \u20ac550 Women’s event at Casino Barcelona, PokerStars made a groundbreaking announcement that could potentially change the future of women’s poker. <\/span><\/p>\n

At a special Ladies Day Breakfast meet and greet, PokerStars revealed an all-new Women\u2019s Winter Festival, which will be held in London at the Hippodrome Casino from November 21-24, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

The four-day festival will include four events, including a \u00a3400 Main Event that features a \u00a3100,000 guarantee. There will be three starting flights as well as live satellites both in London and around the globe for just \u00a340.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hippodrome Director of Poker Kerryjane Craigie, who was named PokerStars\u2019 Ambassador for Women in Poker in June, is the driving force behind this historic series.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am so excited about this event; honing in on the schedule and finalizing the details truly gave me goosebumps,\u201d Craigie said. \u201cOpportunities for women to access more inspirational poker events drive all that I do.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The attention to every detail of this four-day festival has been amazing to be part of, and I believe we have hit the mark. We\u2019ve built an event around the audience\u2014now I am hoping they will come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the Womens Only Main Event, there will be a unique \u00a3220 one-day 50\/50 No-Limit Hold\u2019em Freezeout event on November 23rd.

On November 24th, there will be a pair of closing tournaments for those who aren\u2019t fortunate to reach the final day of the Main Event. <\/span><\/p>\n
