888 Sponsors Ladies Team at WSOP
|
 June 26 - One of the Internet's most frequented online poker rooms,
888.com's Pacific Poker,
is set to sponsor the first ever European women's poker team to take part in the
World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas on July 9th this year.
Along with Pacific Poker, popular online casino, Casino on Net is also part of
888.com.
The ladies team will travel to Las Vegas on July 6 where they will take
part in a two-day 'poker boot camp' led by well-known poker pro, Padraig
Parkinson, to sharpen their Texas Hold'Em poker skills before the event.
Interestingly, the team was hand-picked by the folks at
888.com as opposed to
qualifying for the WSOP through online qualifiers.
 Members of the team include Eunice Waterfield, 888.com's Women Poker UK Open
Winner, poker pro Veronique Gourdon, Tiffany Williamson, who came 15th at the
2005 WSOP Main Event and Rhowena Colclough, who won the first Poker Dome
Challenge and is married to fellow poker pro, Dave Colclough.
Said Jonny Nates of 888.com, 'After the success of our Women's Poker UK Open, we
thought it was about time to give something back to Ladies Poker. There is no
reason why women cannot become major contenders in live poker.
'This form of team sponsorship has potential to develop towards future women's
poker tours,' said Nates.
