The fact that you are painting yourself as a victim here is an absolute joke. You mocked the ladies in the event with your attire and crashed their party. If you are so against gender events why didn't you issue this statement BEFORE making your entrance into the event? The fact is that you humiliated yourself and caused a negativity during an event that is supposed to make a discriminated segment of our industry feel welcome. I wholeheartedly support suspensions for you and the others.

Who does he think he is?? He is fucking nobody, and he is giving advice to the WSOP?? He is the douche of all douches in the poker world...and that is saying somthing. He then compounds this by painting himself to be a victim. BS.

And another thing... Dressing up in drag and using tampons as card protectors makes it hard to believe the men who participated in this event were really interested in making a progressive, pro-woman statement. In fact, it makes it look like they were either: really angry about being "discriminated against"; or, trying to make a joke. (Which is ironic because the former is a total joke and the latter isn't funny.)

[malarimer]

First, this event exists because some women want to play with other women for one event, just as some seniors want to play with other seniors. It isn't about inherent, gender- or age-based inferiority/superiority. And even if that's the message that some take away, since when do we care what ignorant sexists think?

Second, bracelet integrity is not an issue. The Ladies Event will never be the $50K Players Championship; a $1K NLHE will never be a Main Event. Not all bracelets are equal.

@Zerbet that is perfectly said sir! It is absolutely ludicrous

PS. Why are the other womens' tournaments "okay" but not WSOP? You are a hypocrite of the worst kind. You wanted to win that pot and bracelet. And you thought you could run over all the "girls."

[DianaPricePhoto]

You are not supporting women, but mocking them. You aren't fooling anyone - you wanted to enter because you thought it would be an easy tournament.

Who are you to tell women they shouldn't play women only tournaments? Just another egotistical male who wants to tell all us women what is "best for us."

Please feel free to mind your own fucking business.
