c) not having a womens event just makes it more difficult for women to gain entry into what has historically been an incredibly male heavy game. This event is a brilliant marketing move because it makes a game more accessible to a group that is so massively under represented in the game.

Brilliant marketing? You do realize that the wsop has had a ladies only event for like the past thirty years, right?

when i originally typed this i wrote "brilliant marketing move by harrahs" and then i thought, wait, no brilliant marketing move by binions many many years ago. So i wrote it was a brilliant marketing move with no further stipulations, which i certainly believe it was. If they got rid of it, it would be a fairly atrocious move.
