PokerStars is going to hold a Ladies Weekend as part of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure - but you will need to win your place there!
$3,500 Ladies Weekend packages are up for grabs that include a $250 Ladies Poker Bootcamp event, and a buy-in to the $1,000 High Heels Poker Tour Grand Final. The High Heels Poker Tour is a ladies poker organization sponsored by PokerStars, supporting the development of top female talent in the game of Texas Hold ‘Em poker as well as any other major form of competitive poker. In addition to entries in these events, the prize pack also includes 3 nights staying at the Atlantis, a $250 spa voucher, and $900 to help with travel expenses.
Every Sunday at 17:30 ET, PokerStars will hold a PCA Ladies Weekend Final tournament that will award the prize pack for every $3,500 in the prize pool. The direct buy-in for this tournament is $215, but you can earn your way there in several tournaments that run from Monday to Saturday. The cheapest are the $2.20 qualifier tourney held at 16:41 ET and the 500 Frequent Player Point qualifier held at 18:41 ET. For those who are willing to risk more in order to go against a potentially smaller field, the $11 buy-in qualifier is held at 20:41 ET.
To play for a prize package, you will need to be a female real money PokerStars player. Signing up to PokerStars is easy and you can make a quick first deposit via credit card, with the potential to earn a 100% bonus up to $600. Just don’t try to play for the Ladies Weekend package if you are a man, as PokerStars has stated it will disqualify any male players who are found to be playing for this prize, regardless of when they are discovered.
