Las Vegas, NV – June 24, 2025 — History is being made at The Venetian as the $2,500 Women in Poker High Roller has officially shattered expectations and broken records, becoming the largest Women’s High Roller ever held in Las Vegas.

Hosted in partnership with The Venetian Poker Room, Women in Poker, and Women Poker News, this event is the first of its kind during Ladies Week—and it’s already delivering. The field is deep, the play is strong, and the vibe is fierce and focused.

“This isn’t just another tournament—it’s a statement,” said Lupe Soto, founder of Women in Poker and LIPS. “We’ve always known women were ready for higher buy-ins and higher stakes. Now the entire industry can see it too.”

Record-Breaking Numbers

With a $2,500 buy-in and a six-figure guarantee, this event quickly surpassed projections. The turnout sent a clear message: when you build the right stage, women will rise to it. Players traveled from around the world to compete, not just for the prize money, but to be part of something bigger.

From AI consultants to professional streamers, real estate entrepreneurs to longtime educators, this field represents a powerful cross-section of the women shaping the future of poker.

The Spotlight They Deserve

What sets this event apart isn’t just the numbers—it’s the visibility. These women are being spotlighted in the way they deserve: with livestream coverage, professional photography, real-time updates, and media that treats them like the main event—because they are.
