The Women's Poker Association held its first Virtual Excellence Awards Gala, an online celebration that took place in lieu of the planned ladies' week, a summer poker tradition that got canceled along with the rest of the Vegas events because of COVID-19. Usually, ladies would have their pick of several poker tournaments around the city, but instead, they gathered in an online meeting place to discuss a variety of industry topics.
In the one-hour virtual call, several recipients were given awards, the most notable of those going to Texas player Ruth Hall.
