Level 10: 500/1,000/100 Ante

Looking ahead for a moment to the $5,250 buy-in Main Event (August 15-18) with a guaranteed prizepool of $5 million, a group of women including Abbey Daniels are organizing a $250 Ladies Last-Longer for the big event. (See Abbey’s tweet below.)

Ladies Last-Longer bets are becoming more and more common as women in poker are finding ways to support each other in the poker world even as they compete within specific events.

Abbey Daniels has nearly half a million dollars in live tournament earnings, highlighted by a fourth-place finish at the televised 2011 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, which was the first major poker tournament in the state of Florida after a change in legislation made large tournaments possible. Daniels has already reached Day 2 in this event, so she’ll be back in action tomorrow.
