In this episode, we dive into Lara Gertzen’s exciting journey to her first WSOP Main Event. We discuss how Lara got staked to play in this prestigious event and we explore her well-thought out preparation process. We discuss mindset in preparing for the WSOP Main Event and all tournaments. We hear about the top-tier advice she’s hoping for from some of the biggest names in poker, and the high level pros and coaches already committed to supporting her. We talk about Lara's poker origins, tracing back to her early days playing the game after an injury. We discuss how Juli and Lara met at the Hustler Casino in LA, and how we as women can be supporting each other and all poker players by making it a safer and more comfortable game.
Lara shares the inspiring story of how and more importantly why she founded The Poker People, a company dedicated to hosting online and live poker charity tournaments and events as well as corporate team and skills building. The Poker People have raised millions for charity with a veritable who's who in entertainment, business and poker showing up to give for great causes. We highlight Lara's extensive and interesting career in the poker industry, and we discuss her experience as both an industry professional and a recreational player and why she likes it that way. Join us for a fun talk with a lady who knows the poker world. We will be following Lara's journey and documenting it here or LIVE wherever we can and we plan to follow up after with an episode to hear how she did and get all the details. We end with some advice from X Twitter and Veronica Brill.
