With poker still gaining in popularity around the globe, more and more ladies are getting the hots for this beautiful game. As PokerStars is always on the look-out to attract new players, sponsoring the High Heels Poker Tour seems to be a profitable play.
Women at the Poker Table
The High Heels Poker Tour (HHPT) was founded back in 2007 to boost the popularity of poker among women. In its two years of existence the HHPT has showcased many talented female poker stars, many of them on their way to become world-class players.
By now the HHPT's tournament schedule is filled with some very interesting events, hosted at various top locations. Soon the tour will make a stop in Hollywood, Florida at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
PokerStars Sponsorship
PokerStars now is the official sponsor of the HHPT and provides the female players with a whole new set of role models. Team PokerStars has a lot of female champions to look up to, with Katja Thater, Vicky Coren and Vanessa Rousso to start with.
At the same time the HHPT players now have a place on the web to call their poker home. As a result of the newly signed sponsorship deal, the HHPT will host a grand finale $1,000 buy-in event at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in January.
