Las Vegas continues World Series of Pokerwhich started on September 30th. At Rio Casino, the best players in the world are giving away 88 gold bracelets in a variety of events.
So, on Monday started the “women’s” tournament LADIES NLH Championship, in which only the fair sex traditionally takes part. Truth, Men can also register for the event.
It’s all about a legal snag, because according to the laws of the state of Nevada the poker room cannot refuse a player to participate only on the basis of gender… So this loophole did not get in the way Tom Hammers start a bracelet race with the girls.
True, the American crashed, having taken off even before the ITM zone. Tom had to leave the hall under the whistle of the participants, who traditionally say goodbye to male losers in this way.
Hammers admitted that he was ready to give money to women’s charities in case of victory, but did not succeed. Interestingly, there was a case in history when a man triumphed at a similar tournament.
