The male-dominated poker community is taking notice of the growing
popularity of the game from women. The World Series of Poker Academy will be
holding its first poker camp exclusively for the ladies at Caesars Palace
from June 8, to June 9, in Las Vegas. The camp is a two-day event,
instructed by an all-star team. WSOP bracelet winner and poker pro, Annie
Duke, and Alex "The Insider" Outhred will be among the instructors. Also,
former FBI agent Joe Navarro will give a new seminar on female specific
non-verbal behavior. Players will learn poker skills through in-depth
seminars, question and answer sessions and live-hand demonstrations.
Participants will receive customized handbooks and become familiar with all
aspects of Texas hold'em strategies. The WSOP Academy Ladies Event will host
a tournament at the end of the camp that will provide the top ten finishers
a $1,000 buy-in to the 2007 WSOP Ladies Event. The fee for the camp is
$1,699 and hotel reservations are also available.
