The new Horseshoe Casino in Chicago has announced that they had several female entrants in this past Sunday’s high stakes action poker game. They were hosting a World Series of Poker circuit event, and the No-Limit Hold’em $200 buy in circuit event drew a more than 220 entrants. This large influx of players brought in $44,038 for a prize pool.

They say that this was an exclusive poker playing game for women and that they played as long and as hard as the men did in their tournament. They played a long time, not even getting down to ten players until 5:00 am. Originally they expected to play the whole round down to one winner, but with the lateness of the game, it was agreed that they would come back the next day at 4:00 pm to finish.

The poker game was such a success the casino didn’t know what to do with themselves. They said that it was a much bigger success than they had thought it would be, and they are pleased beyond words. The World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe has a total of thirteen events, with buy ins ranging from $300 to $5,000. The winner of the $5,000 poker championship will get a seat to the World Series of Poker Main Event as well as the cash prize.
