Fox35Orlando - A Florida man pissed a lot of people off over the weekend when he entered and won a women’s poker tournament at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in the Sunshine State.
Dave Hughes, 70, entered the $250 no-limit Texas Hold’em event with a prize pool of up to $17,450. Of the 83 competitors to enter the tournament, 82 of them were women, and the last one was Hughes. Hughes ended up defeating Dayanna Ciabaton at the end and take home $5,555.00.
Hughes was allowed to enter the women’s tournament as Florida casinos are prohibited from banning men from entering women’s tournament, according to anti-discrimination laws. Nevada casinos have a similar rule. The World Series of Poker’s Ladies event in Vegas has a $10,000 buy-in tournament, and women receive a 90% discount in hopes of keeping men from entering.
The ladies were not happy with him being there.
