It’s the one you’ve been waiting for.

The 2011 $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em Ladies Event kicked off from the Rio today and the Pavilion Room looked better and smelled better than it has for the entire summer. 

A total of 1,055 women (one more than last year!) bought into the event creating a prizepool of $949,500 with $192,344 dedicated to first place.

Of course we always do a photo blog for the event and this year we had sharp shooter BJ Nemeth collecting images so it’s one heck of haul.
