Women’s Poker Spotlight: Women’s Poker Hall of Fame Annouced

The Women’s Poker Hall of Fame is a dream that founder Lupe Soto has had for many many years. It only seems logical to any person who knows this driven supporter of women’s poker, to realize that she would be the one to start such an institution.

Soto began both the first online women’s poker forum, pokerchix.com, and the leading ladies poker tour, the LIPSTour. Soto also brought the first $1,000 buy-in to a women’s-only event, outside of the WSOP, over five years ago. The fruition of a dream that will become the Women’s Poker Hall of Fame this February is the most rewarding and thrilling project to ever come true for this entrepreneur. Lupe says, “This is an institution that will recognize the
many outstanding women who have accomplished so much and have reached the pinnacle of their poker careers. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface in the many venues available today in which to find these women in the poker industry. This organization will exemplify those women and their respective poker industry achievements and titles.”
