With the World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship Festival at Wynn Las Vegas just weeks away, the poker tour announced that the upcoming festival will feature "a number of female-focused initiatives," including giveaways, the largest-ever Ladies Event prize pool and a meet-up game hosted by poker commentator Jamie Kerstetter.
The initiatives are aptly timed as Angelica Hael, head of Global Tour Management for WPT and vice president of WPT Enterprises, was inducted into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame (WiPHoF) along with Vanessa Selbst, Jennifer Tilly and Terry King.
