The poker industry works tirelessly to make the game and the environment it’s played in open, accessible and welcoming to players of all genders and backgrounds. That’s why events like the one coming up at Horseshoe Casino Baltimore to mark Women’s History Month are so exciting.
Not only does the event feature the second-ever women’s event to be held at the venue, it comes with a $5,000 guarantee. There is also the prospect of a Q&A panel and plenty of giveaways in including books and poker coaching sessions.
“This tournament is created by women poker players for women poker players,” said organizer Caitlyn Arnwine. “I’m personally investing in women who attend this event. Ladies, you’re not going to want to miss out! We’re giving you the amazing event you deserve.”
“Men who want to be part of this event can do their part,” added Arnwine. “Share the flyer! Talk positively about women’s events at the poker table! Even buy a woman in — no female player will turn down a free buy-in!
Jam-Packed Event Schedule
The event takes place on Saturday, March 23 starting with a Women’s Panel at 11 a.m. This includes free breakfast donated by the RunGood Poker Series and Rachel Kay Winter. This is then followed by the $200 buy-in Ladies Legends poker tournament at 12:15 p.m.
The panel is set to feature three local speakers: Heidi Findley, J. Avery Theodore Daisey and Hollie Fallstone who will all bring their unique perspectives as individuals within the world of poker. The event will also feature ASL interpreting from local Baltimore organization and the whole panel will be livestreamed on YouTube.
