The World Series of Poker Academy, poker’s premiere series of instructional camps where participants learn first-hand from the world’s greatest poker players, announced today that it will host the first ever poker camp exclusively for women.

The two-day WSOP Academy Ladies Event, set for June 8-9, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, will feature world-class instruction by World Series of Poker bracelet winner Annie Duke, former FBI agent Joe Navarro - an expert on nonverbal behavior - and distinguished poker instructor Alex “The Insider” Outhred.

“From friendly home games to casino card rooms to the biggest poker tournaments, more women are playing poker than ever before, and now there is a poker camp just for them,” said Jeff Goldenberg, whose company Post Oak Productions produces the WSOP Academy. “Our ladies-only academy will offer a fun yet highly informative environment where players can learn first-hand from the best minds in poker and gain the confidence and skills they need to be a threat at the table.”

“This first-of-its-kind camp will also feature a unique curriculum guided by Annie Duke, arguably the best woman tournament poker player in the world, and a new seminar from poker tells expert Joe Navarro that focuses on female-specific non-verbal behavior,” added Goldenberg.

More than a comprehensive poker camp though, the WSOP Academy Ladies Event will also provide a chance for ten women poker players to go straight from being a camp participant to possibly a World Champion bracelet holder. At the end of the camp session, a tournament will be held with the top ten finishers awarded seats to the $1,000 buy-in
World Championship Ladies No-Limit Hold’em tournament immediately following the event.

“The camp’s tournament will be a great way for our participants to put into action what they’ve learned over the two days and perhaps extend their stay in Las Vegas a little longer so they can compete in the most prestigious poker tournament in the world, the World Series of Poker,” said Goldenberg.

Like all sessions of the WSOP Academy, which are held in cities across America throughout the year, the WSOP Academy Ladies Event will provide participants with in-depth seminars, live hand demonstrations, interactive workshops and customized handbooks. All aspects of Texas Hold’em strategy will be addressed, from playing position and calculating pot odds to the importance of aggression and
changing gears. Focusing on more than just tournament play,
participants will also receive instruction on becoming a well-rounded poker player and observer at the poker table.
