Ladbrokes Poker Cruise – Ladies Freeroll Results
January 31, 2008 - Deanna Goodson
The Ladies Freeroll of the Ladbrokes Poker Cruise III took place this week. The top four finishers received a ticket to the Ladbrokes European Ladies Championship. The ELC, as that tournament is called, will be held over the May bank holiday in London. It will also be filmed for television. The winner of that tournament receives a fantastic cash prize of $30,000. The top Ladbrokes’ Qualifier will get a cool $14,000 WSOP Prize Package. (Click THIS LINK for more information on how you can qualify for the ELC today.)
122 ladies took to the felt at the start of Day One. These ladies came to play. They battled hard throughout the day until only 18 remained. Amongst those was the chip leader, Gail Smith. She held 29k in her lovely hands. Breathing down her neck were Kate Barbrook and Trine Hift. These gals had 28,400 so you know Day Two was going to be fantastic.
And the ladies did NOT disappoint. By the time play got down to five, the tension was unbearable. Nearly every hand was an ‘all in’ situation. You could tell these ladies were playing for keeps – and one of the four slots to the 2008 ELC.
Unfortunately, the bubble lady was Day One’s own chip leader, Gail Smith. Along with the players finishing 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th, she received ELC Weekly Final seats at Ladbrokes Poker.
The last lady standing in this freeroll was Michelle "Michelle1" Bennett.
Congratulations to Michelle from all of the Ladbrokes Poker Team. Ladbrokes looks forward to seeing you along with Lenn Martyak (2nd), Kate Barbrook (3rd) and Pauline Ring (4th) in London in May.
