This International Women’s Day, PokerStars is shining a spotlight on female players with an exclusive online poker event – the KJ Open.
Named in honor of PokerStars Ambassador and Director of Poker at the Hippodrome Casino Kerryjane Craigie, this special tournament is dedicated to promoting and celebrating women in poker, offering players a chance to compete for seats at one of the biggest live events of the year.
A Special Tournament for Women in Poker
The KJ Open is an online tournament exclusively for female players, reinforcing PokerStars’ commitment to growing inclusivity within the game. With at least two €250 seats to the Irish Open Ladies Championship up for grabs, the tournament provides players with the opportunity to take their skills from the virtual felt to the live tables of one of Europe’s most prestigious poker festivals.
The winner of the KJ Open will automatically receive a €250 seat to the Irish Open Ladies Championship. Additionally, another seat will be awarded to the player who knocks out PokerStars Ambassador Kerry Jane Craigie, in their first entry.
More seats will be added for every €250 in the prize pool, with a maximum of 10 seats available.
