A man won a women’s poker tournament at a Florida casino over the weekend, sparking a heated debate on social media.

David Hughes, of Deltona, Florida, finished first in the $250 buy-in Ladies No-limit Hold’em (Re-Entry) event Saturday during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Hughes earned $5,555 for the victory after defeating Dayanna Ciabaton heads-up. The event drew 83 entries.

A poker website identified Hughes as a “70-year-old bearded man.”

According to anti-discrimination laws, Florida casinos are not permitted to ban men from entering a women’s event.

Nevada also prohibits poker tournaments from barring men from entering women’s tournaments. The World Series of Poker’s Ladies event is a $10,000 buy-in tournament with a 90 percent discount for women to deter men from entering.
