A bearded man is going viral after taking first place in a women's poker tournament Saturday in Florida.

Deltona, Florida, native David Hughes entered the $250 buy-in "Ladies No-limit Hold’em" event at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and won, according to a report.

The event, which had 83 entries, was part of the casino's "Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown," and Hughes walked away with $5,555 in winnings, the report noted.

Hughes is described as a "70-year-old bearded man," and he was allowed to compete under anti-discrimination rules, which state Florida casinos must allow men to enter women's events.

This proves men are better at everything, even better at being a woman.

Non-binary BlackJack?

When are women going to put their collective foots down and demand their rights to their own gender?

C’mon you damn fools, this is just beyond ridiculous.

Militant feminists are man haters. They aren’t moved into action unless the result is painful for men as a whole.

I don’t see why poker should be divided by sex anyway. It’s not like sports, where physical strength and lung capacity matter.

Why do women need their own poker tournament?

To hell with the Militant feminists, I’m talking about the rank and file women who know this is a bucket of crapola.

Women have been playing against men in tournaments for a long time. So...how is it there is such a thing as a women’s tournament?
Makes no sense,

A women-only poker tournament is itself pretty sad. Is it the lack of testicles or the presence of ovaries that results in them having a diminished capacity for playing poker?

No, no, it’s lack of math skills. Remember that’s what that Harvard guy said——I suppose counting cards is a math skill?

Women planned their own poker tournaments due to the vile harassment they endured at the hands of men sitting at the poker tables at regular tournaments. I don't really have an opinion on that, but that's why women made their own tournaments.

Florida law allows men to play in women's tournaments. Not many men do, though.

There are quite a number of world class women poker players.
NUMBER 1. Vanessa Selbst, New York, $11m + ...
NUMBER 2. Kathy Liebert, Nashville, $6.4m + ...
NUMBER 3. Kristen Bicknell, Ontario, $5.6m + ...
NUMBER 4. Annie Duke, Oregon, $4m + ...
NUMBER 5. Maria Ho, Los Angeles, $4m + ...
NUMBER 6. Annette Obrestad, Norway, $3.9m + .
