Strong Turnout for Women at the WPT500 at ARIA

There has been a strong turnout for women here at the partypoker Presents: WPT500 at ARIA Resort & Casino, including some notables.

Elizabeth Montizanti has already had a good summer, finishing fourth in the WSOP Ladies Event to earn $44,770. Montizanti is also off to a strong start here, up to 50,000 in chips early.

Lacey Jones is no longer living in the United States of America, but she’s here on Independence Day (July 4th), so America is happy. Jones is still alive but short on chips.

Season XII WPT Ones to Watch Christina Lindley was in today’s field, but unfortunately, her first bullet didn’t work out. If she’s going to reach Day 2 of this event, she’ll need to fire again tomorrow or another Day 1.

Team partypoker Player Kara Scott is here, and was so impressed by the turnout of female players that she took to Twitter:

Playing the #WPT500 today&my table is almost 40% female. It’s anecdotal but this year it seems like there are definitely more women playing
