VP of Global Tour Management Angelica Hael opens up about the women of the WPT and how that diversity, combined with industry cooperation, will welcome more women to the poker tables.
“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made… It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg
For more than a dozen years, a handful of people have looked at the ever-growing game of poker and wondered why so few women are represented at the tables. A few have given it more than a passing thought. A few have gone so far as to speculate and opine, look honestly at the game’s dynamics, ask questions, and encourage change. Some have even taken it to the point of presenting new opportunities for women to learn the game and play more of it.
