I’m pleased to announce that Cardplayer Lifestyle has once again partnered with the Women’s Poker Association (WPA) to provide exclusive coverage of “Women’s Poker Week” events this summer. We’ll be covering a number of Ladies Events that will be taking place around Las Vegas.
WPA President AJ Rudolph said, “It’s time for Summer Camp! The Women’s Poker Association is delighted to partner with Cardplayer Lifestyle for the third year in a row to offer coverage for the women and events in our community that don’t always get the spotlight. Women who play live poker make up less than 5% of the field, but we are growing! There are some amazing players in our community and I love to see them shine. I want to thank our sponsors who continue to support The Women’s Poker Association and women in poker. I look forward to seeing all the friendly faces in this community when I arrive in Vegas at the end of June. It’s my favorite time of year!”
What to Expect from Our Women’s Poker Week Coverage
Even just a couple years ago, Women’s Poker Week, despite much promotion, had never properly been reported on in-depth. Our partnership with the Women’s Poker Association was forged in order to showcase each of the individual Ladies Events around Las Vegas as well as the wonderful players and venues that help to make Women’s Poker Week such a well-attended series of events each summer. Once again, this year’s coverage will be spearheaded by veteran poker reporter Roxanne Johnson.
Roxanne brings with her an incredible passion for the game. “I had a great time doing this last year and am excited to have this gig again in 2026! It’s a privilege to have a front row seat to watch them compete at the felt! I love covering Ladies events!”
Roxanne will be wearing the Cardplayer Lifestyle patch and reporting on multiple ladies event’s results, highlight final tables, winners, and some players and interesting stories from the felt. Be sure to follow us on X @PokerLifeMedia and @RoxanneLee321 to keep up-to-date during the tournaments themselves. During Women’s Poker Week, you’ll be able to read her recap of a variety of events on the calendar and share it with all your poker friends and family rooting you on from back home.
