Poker Powher announced on Friday that it has worked with World College Poker on a free-to-play international women’s poker tournament which comes just in time for celebration of Women’s History Month.

The tournament will be available through PokerStars and will be open to any woman who is over 18 years old. It is set to occur on March the 27th, which is a mere few days from now, and the top 9 players will be moving forward to the final table in order to go against each other and snatch up many different prizes.

Such prizes can include a holiday deal to Cancun, Mexico which is offered by PLOQuickPro.com. Aside from that, there will also be one-on-one lessons with some world famous poker professionals, as well as a ladies-only poker night.

“We are very passionate about empowering women in poker and bringing more women to the game, so we are excited to host this one-of-a-kind tournament on PokerStars.net and help pave the way for more women to get involved in the game. We have held numerous activities to shine a spotlight and celebrate our female community over the years including the launch of ‘Our Voices’ earlier this month, a female insights community for all women in poker to engage in discussion and give us feedback to help ensure the game is as inclusive and engaging as possible for every player.”
