Male poker player Albert "albiexchewy" Ng has sparked online controversy after winning a $1,000 seat to the WSOP Ladies Championship via an open online satellite held on June 19, 2025.
The satellite, which drew 51 entrants on WSOP.com, awarded a single $1,000 seat to the Ladies Championship, set to run June 26–30 at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Ng claimed the top prize despite not being eligible to play the event without paying a significant premium.
