Man affects women<\/h2>\n

A man has disrupted the status quo of women\u2019s poker by gaining qualification for the World Series of Poker Ladies Championship in Las Vegas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Monday, a poker playing social media user took to X to tongue-in-cheek congratulate the culprit, Albert Ng:<\/p>\n

Congrats to Albert Ng user albiexchewy for winning the @wsop<\/a> Satellite to LADIES Championship #70. So @Kevmath<\/a> does he have to pony up the other $9k entry fee since it\u2019s a direct entry? pic.twitter.com\/J1WCOw4OZl<\/a><\/p>\n

Ng made the cut for the WSOP event after coming first in a satellite event.<\/p>\n

Ng, who won the qualifying event going by the username \u201calbiexchewy,\u201d beat 50 other entrants to gain a seat to the Horseshoe Las Vegas-hosted Ladies No-Limit Hold\u2019em Championship on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nevada\u2019s anti-discrimination laws prohibit casinos from banning men from entering a women\u2019s poker event.<\/p>\n

Players question Ng\u00a0<\/h2>\n

With just days to go before WSOP\u2019s Poker Ladies Championship begins, Ng\u2019s entry into the fold has set the online poker community at odds.<\/p>\n

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journa<\/em>l \u201cseveral poker players spoke out against Ng\u201d <\/a>taking part in a tournament intended to be for women only.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Double WSOP Circuit event winner Angela Jordison summed up the mood online with a plaintive:<\/p>\n

\n

what are we doing here guys\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jordison was responding to the viral post by @Elanit, who also asked if Nevada would stick to the rules and make Ng pay the remaining $9,000 entry fee.<\/p>\n

The X user was referring to the rule that while the ladies event had an official $10,000 buy-in, women enjoyed a 90% discount and pay only $1,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The WSOP confirmed \u201cthat men are required to pay the $10,000 buy-in regardless of whether they enter using the WSOP+ app or at the cage.\u201d<\/p>\n

No-man\u2019s land<\/h2>\n

Reports reveal Ng once won a WSOP event and has pocketed nearly $288,000 in career live tournament earnings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While PokerNews.com<\/em> revealed Ng \u201cdeclined to comment if he knew the satellite was for a ladies event,\u201d he has earned himself a place in the record books for going where only few men have dared go before.<\/p>\n

Ng now shares the spotlight with David Hughes and Abraham Korotki, winners of Ladies No-limit Hold\u2019em events at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown and Borgata Poker Open in Atlantic City in 2023 and 2009 respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n
