The first player has booked her spot at the live final competition in the Betfair Poker Goddess event. ‘Kate0’ qualified for the tournament while playing online poker for the first time last week.

The women-only tournament will take place in London on April 20. The winner of this event will be crowned the Betfair Poker Goddess and go to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas. This is the latest Betfair Poker initiative to introduce more women to the online game.

Tuesday has become ladies night at Betfair Poker, with a new pink webpage set up for the girls, where female players can learn the basics and play in women-only tournaments.
