A brief history:
The first ladies event was held in 1977 and the buy-in was just $100. The buy-in eventually increased to $1,000 over time. Today it is listed as a $10,000 event, with ladies receiving a 90% discount when they register. It remained a seven card stud until the year 2000, when it changed to a stud/hold'em mix. It stayed that way until 2004, when it changed into a limit hold'em format and in 2005 it became no-limit, which it is today.
