Max Pawn hosts Ladies Night event to complement World Series of Poker

LAS VEGAS - July 1, 2017 - PRLog -- Lena Evans, president of San Diego-based Helix Poker, is partnering with Max Pawn to host a Ladies Night shopping event for poker players from 6 to 8 p.m. July 5 at Max Pawn, 6040 W Sahara Ave.

As part of the event, Max Pawn gave Helix Poker $100 gift cards to the store that the women could use to buy luxury merchandise like designer handbags, shoes, fine jewelry and watches.

The ladies will also enjoy food and drinks.

Helix Poker is a promotion and marketing organization specializing in the poker industry.  They are bringing fresh ideas to poker by promoting a new concept of tournament play.

Evans, the Golden State Ladies Champion and the first woman to win a Quantum Championship, is co-hosting the event to promote Ladies Week at the World Series of Poker. The world-famous tournament series, which is telecast on ESPN, is in progress at the Rio -- complemented with a number of outside series at other venues in Las Vegas.

Ladies Week is five days of events for women. It opens with this welcome cocktail reception, and follows with the Helix Poker $10,000 guaranteed No Limit Hold'em tournament at Harrah's Las Vegas, in which the champion will also receive a diamond bracelet, sponsored by Max Pawn. Helix is also sponsoring a WSOP School of Poker pre-tournament mini-prep course.

Although women comprise 10 percent of poker tournament fields, Evans said more women are advancing deep into tournaments and winning prize money.

"Many female players got their start in ladies-only events, where they feel less intimidated playing with women than in open events," Evans said. "Typically, the atmosphere is more fun, so as a result, ladies tournaments bring more women into casinos to play live poker."
