On Sunday, Poker Night In America is shooting their second Ladies Night event a SugarHouse starting at 3pm EST. Ten top women poker players will compete in the televised $25/50 cash game that carries a minimum buy-in of $5000. The participants in Ladies Night II Lineup are:

The game will be streamed live on Poker Night in America website and youtube channel and will include live commentary from the players. The first Ladies Night Event was the most watch live stream from Poker Night in America in 2014. Women are excellent poker players, evidenced by the popularity of the event, and they have helped to expand the viewing audience for poker.

 

Sugarhouse is leading into the event with a 100,000 guaranteed poker showdown, Thursday, April 23 thru Monday, April 27. The buy-in is $250 with a 30 entry fee grand prize tournament. This puts SugarHouse on the same  level with some of the more established poker rooms on the region. This was part of the vision when the poker room open approximately 6 months ago.  Rosemarie Cook is Vice President of Gaming and instrumental in the growth of SugarHouse Poker.

Cook states, "SugarHouse Poker is thrilled to be able to host an event of this stature having only been open for 6 months. It's a first for us and we're very excited. This is not only our first multi-day tournament, but the first one in Philadelphia. We want to introduce the poker room to those who haven't visited yet and keep those who have been here coming back. Hosting Poker Night in America including Ladies Night II and Phil Hellmuth is a great way to do it. Our inaugural event will be one to remember."
