Vanessa Kade’s reaction was obviously going to be a talking point given her woes with the site, and she didn’t disappoint. Just one word for you guys at this time: COWARDS. Since turned off comments, they can read the quoted RTs. What seemed to be several positive steps by the site to redress the gender balance and make up for their glaring error by signing Bilzerian went up in smoke with yesterday’s announcement.Ĭuriously enough, the poker media were first among those who condemned the announcement, Lappin and your scribe joined by others as news filtered through. Instead, they focused on promoting their freerolls in partnership with female-only FB poker group Fantastic Ladies In Poker (FLIP), with FLIP founder Daiva Byrne taking on an ambassador role.

In revenge for standing up to them, Kade had her affiliate status removed by GGPoker on International Women’s Day 2021. The self-proclaimed poker god not only kicked off his tenure (as opposed to kicking a model off a roof) with a dig at Canada’s Vanessa Kade, but also refusing to face the female winner of a Birthday Bash tournament held in his honour, Alex O’Brien.Įnglish amateur O’Brien was instead offered a $10k battle with Kade by ACR, who had offered the Canadian a pro sponsorship (now ended) in the wake of her calling out the GGPoker/Bilzerian coupling. 🃏 David Lappin 🃏 March 23, 2022īilzerian’s signing as an ambassador for GGPoker has been a headline-maker for all the wrong reasons. GGPoker have been called “cowards” and “embarrassing” after revealing that serial misogynist Dan Bilzerian is still a partner, just weeks after the online poker site removed his profile to boost their image on International Women’s Day.
