June is a bit of a hectic time in the poker calendar and it is easy to become distracted by all the razzmatazz taking place at Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino which is hosting the multi event WSOP.
However, for all of its high stakes appeal, there are plenty of other attractions taking place around the globe.
Take the Canterbury Park Card Club in Minnesota – it recently offered a Ladies No Limit Tournament. Although the buy in was a paltry $100, sadly it attracted only 29 players.
However, the fairer sex are becoming a bigger force in the world of poker, assisted by organisations such as the the Ladies Poker Association.
There is also a site called Ladies in Poker (LIPs – like it, like it) which, keen to shatter stereotypes and push the envelope of feminism, offers 'Poker Jewellery' aimed firmly at the XX chromosome market.
Your male correspondent was a little confused as, although it claims to be a 'priceless piece of poker inspired deco jewellery', the 'Stretch Bangle', tastefully studded with diamante crystals representing the four suits in a pack of cards, is available for a mere £45.
It is the perfect item to adorn the wrist of Michele Madsen and, with her winnings of $1,305, she might also be able to treat herself to the 'sensual and sexy' bracelet which would further swell the purse of LIPS.

The only jewelery I'm interested in is a WSOP bracelet. ;-) Nice article, thanks for the shout-out.
