Ladies Event?

One of our favorite events each World Series of Poker is the $1,000 NLH Ladies championship: 1) it's the one event guaranteed to be won by a woman, 2) there's usually some smoking hot girls who play (lots of pics from this later in the upcoming hours), which when you're surrounded by a bunch of ugly dudes for six weeks, is a nice change of pace, and 3) revisit point #2.

Now WSOP commish and renown blogger Jeffrey Pollack has emphatically stated that he intends to keep the integrity of the ladies event by making sure no men enter it.

So we ask him to double-check the gender of the above entrant. We're not trying to be mean, but "she" has facial hair. We saw it. Maybe "she's" a tranny or something, but man oh man...

...anyway this year has 1,190 entrants for a top prize of $224,753. More to come...

UPDATE: Confirmed. Totally a dude.

I actually played with this "woman" when we were down to about 200 players in the WSOP. I wonder what place he ended up. If I had known better I would have turned him in...would absolutely do that next time! He had major whiskers going on....definately had me convinced she was actually a he!

The Adam's apple is a dead giveaway. However, it's entirely possible that this is a MTF transsexual.
