Women around the world have embraced the game of poker. Yet, surprisingly, no major event has ever been created as a stand-alone with women as the centerpiece.

Up until now, women's poker tournaments have been an 'also ran', an 'oh, by the way', and in general, were relegated to time slots that conflicted with the major events. Currently, the only major poker event that highlights women is the World Series of Poker® Ladies Championship. In 2009, the World Poker Tour® even canceled its Ladies Championship!

Since the number of women in poker is growing, not waning, women are major contenders in the poker arena and more top-notch women poker players are surfacing each day.

It's time for a change, and the US Ladies Poker Championship is here to spearhead that movement. Women have earned first class treatment in the poker world. The US Ladies Poker Championship intends on becoming the premier women's poker event of the year showcasing and featuring women.

Either jump on for the ride of your life, or stand back and wonder what happened.

Hear us roar!

How will we feature these great women players?

The US Ladies Poker Championship, a division of Ladies International Poker Series (LIPS), was developed for women who want to compete for larger prize pools in major events that showcase women poker players to the world.

Super satellite tournaments held in land based poker rooms, poker leagues and home games plus online poker sites will allow women to qualify for this event. The championship event will take place in Las Vegas on Labor Day weekend (Sept 3-5, 2010) where it will be broadcast LIVE on the Internet to millions. (This is an open buy-in event, and players can enter the event directly without winning a satellite.)

The US Ladies Poker Championship is expected to exponentially grow and become one of the most prestigious poker tournaments in the world. Any women would be proud to own the title of the best woman poker player in the United States!
