Women Prove Their Mettle at Everest Poker Japan Cup Qualifiers

Online poker room Everest Poker announced recently that two of the winners of their Japan Cup Qualifier events were women, an occurrence that property manager Jonathan May called statistically "remarkable." At the June 23 Japan Cup live qualifier at Bar Jack in Tokyo the winner was Everest Poker player Marisuke, and the June 30th qualifier in Osaka was won by player Akemin. May pointed out that they were aware that Japanese women were becoming more involved with the game, but found the appearance of two winners impressive. The Everest Poker Japan Cup will be played out in August.
