Nearly 100 women attended the World Series Of Poker Academy Ladies Only Camp this weekend to get more knowledge about poker, warm up for the upcoming WSOP Ladies No-Limit Hold?em event, and to win a seat in the Ladies Championship.

The WSOP Academy Ladies Only Camp took place yesterday, June 8th, and today. During the two-day camp, which took place in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, there have been seminars and live demontrations on poker skills and strategies with instructors including Annie Duke, Alex ?The Insider? Outhred and the FBI veteran Joe Navarro.

Karina Jett, who has several WSOP cashes including two final tables, was one of the instructors at the WSOP Academy Ladies Only camp. As she told PokerListings, the Ladies Only camp benefits women who are intimidated by men playing poker since meeting other women who also are interested in playing poker is encouraging and gives them a positive experience.

The women who participated in the WSOP Academy Ladies Only camp were not only there for the seminars. Included in the Ladies Only camp was also a private WSOP Academy tournament, where ten $1,000 WSOP Ladies Event seats were given away!

After six hours of play to win a seat at the Ladies Event tomorrow, the winners of the seats were:

• Stephanie James - Honolulu, Hawaii
• Cari Jewett - Boise, Idaho
• Stacy Kopacz - Hopkinsville, Ky.
• Gladys Landegger - Tarzana, Calif.
