The 1st Annual “National Women’s Poker Day™”, hosted by Ladies International Poker Series – LIPS™, is the first poker event of this kind in poker history.
This Nationwide Mega Satellite will take place across the country on the same day, at the same time with the same buy in, structure and prize package.Winners of the mega satellite win a package to attend the 2nd Annual US Ladies Poker Championship™, the Women in Poker Hall of Fame™ Dinner & Ceremony, the PokerGives.org charity poker tournament and travel cash.
Founder, Lupe Soto of LIPS was inspired to do this project to bring awareness and opportunity to women poker players in a significant way. “The only way to to accomplish such a feat is to collaborate with land based casinos who support women in poker” said Soto. “We want to help women attend a major poker tournament in an affordable, yet competitive way.”

Even though women can buy in directly to the US Ladies Poker Championship, there is an added element for those who qualify through a casino partner. The casino itself is rooting for their players because if one of them win, the casino wins as well! The winner will return to their casino with a special casino trophy as well as a professional poker player visit to their poker room for a future promotion. It’s a win-win for everyone!
