Ladies Freeroll Results

The Ladies Freeroll took place in the Cortes room last night and turned into a rollercoaster of emotion for many of the players. The standard of poker at the final table was fantastic and provided a great spectacle for the spectators.

With 4 ELC packages up for grabs the tension was unbearable. With 5 players left there was "all in" called on virtually every hand, with the player facing the exit coming through to survive. The unlucky lady to bubble and come in 5th spot was overnight chip leader Gail Smith. Gail along with the players finishing 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th all received ELC Weekly Final seats.

The winner of the tournament was Michelle "Michelle1" Bennett.

Congratulations to Michelle from all of the Ladbrokes Poker Team, and we look forward to seeing you along with Lenn Martyak (2nd), Kate Barbrook (3rd) and Pauline Ring (4th) in London in May.

Heads Up Cash Game Review

The much-hyped Heads-Up match between Jonas "Nebuchad" Danielsson and Thomas "Inorisss" Tyszkiewicz took place in the Cortes room last night. With $20,000 at stake the chips went back and forth during the two hour game. However, there could only be one winner in terms of cash, and that was Thomas who ended with $11,150.
