Worlds Largest Women-Only Poker Event

PokerStars are arranging to hold the world’s largest women-only poker event in the Bahamas under the banner of the Women’s Caribbean Adventure. The event is due to be staged in the New Year as part of the annual tropical poker celebrations at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, which traditionally takes place during the first weeks of January. 

The women-only event will be a $1,100 buy-in over the 14th and 15th of January at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. PokerStars say they aim for it to be the biggest women-only event in the world and are keen to invite female poker players from around the globe to pony up and play. 

Venessa Rousso, who won the event this year, took home a first prize of $25,000 from the $88,270 prize pool in a competition that attracted 91 women to play. PokerStars have already lined up a glittering array of poker pros to attend the match, which will see Rousso challenged by Liv Boeree, Venessa Selbst and Victoria Coren. 

As with January’s event, Rousso will be providing a women’s poker boot camp just before to give any prospective players some tips, advice and poker strategy for the game. Interested female poker players can also qualify for the Women’s Caribbean Adventure on the PokerStars website where they can join the satellite games, with buy-ins starting from as little as $2.
