PokerStars listened to feedback from female poker players on how to draw women to the game, and now the poker site is responding.
The upcoming PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas festival will feature a $330 buy-in Women's Event on Nov. 5. Notably, the event has a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool attached.
Last year's NAPT Women's Event had a $360 price tag and drew 94 entrants for a prize pool of $28,200. That means PokerStars is expecting this year's event to be an even greater success.
The Women's Event will get underway at 12:30 p.m. local time on Nov. 5 and allows for unlimited reentry. The event will feature 30-minute levels and will see players starting with stacks of 30,000.
Gregoire Auzoux limped in from the small blind and Adrian Mateos checked his option in the big blind.
Auzoux took the lead for 20,000 on the J♥8♣6♣ flop. Mateos called.
The 2♠ turn saw Auzoux size up to 65,000. Mateos was undeterred.
The A♥ river saw Auzoux move all in for Mateos’ effective stack of 178,000, leaving himself just 16,000 behind the line. Mateos went deep into the tank for several minutes before finding a huge hero call for his tournament life.

Due to some technical difficulties, there will be a slight delay to the updates.

Viktor Ustimov : A♣Q♣
Adrian Mateos: A♥5♥
The board ran out 3♠10♠10♦J♠7♠ and neither player found anything on the board. Ustimov held with his ace-queen high with the pair of tens on board to win the pot, doubling his stack through Mateos.
