The Ladies International Poker Series (LIPS Tour) started in 2004 by Lupe Soto with just over 200 women entering their launch events. The women get their day on Saturday, August 30th with a LIPS sponsored ladies only event at 6:00 PM. The tournament will be No Limit Hold'em with a USD 200 plus 30 buy in. The ladies only tournament is a first on many counts. It will be the first women's only tournament to be held in Peru, it will also be the first United States based women's only tour to be considered truly international.
Over the past four years LIPS has held tournaments with up to 400 women making it the largest women's poker tour to date. It is a natural progression that the tour goes international.
Juan Carlos Mejia started the Pro Poker Challenge of America in 2003 as a bar league that holds point based tournaments in the United States, Canada and South American countries including Chili and Argentina.
Joining LIPS and Pro Poker Challenge of America for the series will be professional players Linda Johnson and Jan Fisher. Johnson and Fisher will be offering a tournament strategy seminar to all who attend. The seminar features tournament playing skills and tips that can be implemented immediately and can be utilized by both beginning participants as well as the more seasoned players.
