It's story that is becoming more and more frequent in the poker world. Men are entering women-only poker tournaments.
This week, Abraham Korotki of New Jersey entered the Ladies Event at the Borgata Poker Open and, after outlasting 268 women, took down the event for $20,982.
Korotki was able to enter the tournament because organizers are not allowed to exclude players based on gender.
Nicole Rowe finished in second place for $11,889 to become the last woman standing in a ladies event. Rowe was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
Korotki allegedly offered to donate some of the money to a breast cancer foundation, but an exact amount wasn't given.
In 2007, former baseball player Jose Canseco entered a ladies event at the Bicycle Casino and recently a man filed a discriminatory lawsuit against Hollywood Park Casino because its poker room offered a ladies-only event.
