VICTORIA COREN JOINS TEAM POKERSTARS

 

UK’s ‘Princess of Poker’ signs for the world’s largest online poker site

 

London, UK – April 24th, 2008: PokerStars.com, the world’s largest online poker site, today announced the addition of Victoria Coren to Team PokerStars Pro. Ranked 10th in the Women’s All Time Money Winners List, Coren was the 2006 London European Poker Tour Champion and is the UK’s second most successful female player with lifetime tournament winnings of over $1.2 million.

 

Coren took up poker aged 16 and has been a regular cash game player at London’s Grosvenor Victoria Casino for a number of years. In EPT Season 3, she became one of the most popular champions ever when she claimed the fist prize of £500,000 at her home casino, ‘The Vic’.


Away from the baize, Victoria Coren is a well-known author, journalist and broadcaster. She writes weekly columns for The Observer and Guardian newspapers and has presented the BBC TV programme Balderdash and Piffle as well as BBC Radio 4’s Off the Page show. She also regularly appears as a guest on other radio comedy and discussion shows and has provided commentary for several televised poker tournaments.

 

Thomas Wyse, PokerStars.com UK Marketing Manager said: “Vicky is probably the most popular female poker player in the UK and certainly one of the most successful. Not only is she the first and only woman to win an EPT, but she has proved to be an enthusiastic and eloquent ambassador for poker in general.”

“I’m genuinely proud and happy to be an ambassador for PokerStars, I have played on the site for years,” said Coren. “And I’m especially delighted to help promote the EPT, which was already my favourite tournament series even before I won in London. The only difference is that I used to play it in cheaper shoes. Team PokerStars Pro, is a line up of some of the most exciting and memorable characters in modern poker, I’m really chuffed to be joining them.”


Victoria Coren will play the European Poker Tour and other tournaments alongside her fellow members of Team PokerStars Pro including world champions Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer and Joe Hachem, poker legends Barry Greenstein, Daniel Negreanu and a host of other EPT champions and elite players including Luca Pagano, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Dario Mineri and Isabelle Mercier.

Nice one Vicky

The best looking poker player bar none!

ohh and she can play a bit too.

Good time to set up a shoe shop in London, IMO!

Her voice makes me go a little weak at the knees.

A very good signing, obviously.

Good-looking, media profile away from poker, middle-class (thus 'respectable'). Hopefully this will mean we'll hear more of her on the EPT broadcasts.


Are poker tables referred to as 'baize'?

Felt, yes. Cloth, maybe. Baize - surely that's snooker?

I thought Vicky was already part of the Stars team? I remember her appearing in Stars gear after her EPT win.

Or maybe that was a temporary situation following the win.

She'd worn the Stars gear several times since, but this makes things official

i gotta say i was a bit surprised at her behaviour at the GUKPT in London a coupla months ago, seemed like very bad etiquette from what i saw but shes nice to look at

Tighty just wanted to use "baize" in a press release and since Steve Davis is still not a sponsored player he hasn't yet had the opportunity to use it.

I'm pretty sure I remember an announcement to that effect a while back

I think thats the result she was looking for...

If you refer to the alleged incident or "inappropriate comments" that were Reported in the blonde Live Update, Vicky later Posted to state that it was incorrectly reported, which we accepted.

Mr Kendall,

I wasn't referring to the incident which you mentioned, although thanks for reminding me as I was standing watching that table when it happened so blonde poker can take any stance it wants to on it. I know the other person involved very credibly wanted to forget it as soon as it happened anyway

:D

I didn't write this one. Sadly PokerStars do not wish to avail themseleves of my talents at this stage

Back to the draft of the Paris Hilton joins the FoxyBingo Sweden site release then............

Always said those Stars people were pillocks.

just out of curiousity mr kendall, why was what she said accepted? Because I was standing by the table watching the action as it happened and indeed reported it at the time to danafish for the live update. Does blonde poker therefore consider me a liar?

 Oh boy, that can go nowhere good ;popcorn;

Suddenly everyone is calling me mr Kendall". It's worrying......

Thanks for clarifying that Mr, err, Stein?

I apologise if the two incidents were un-connected.

I was not sure if you referred to the incident reported between Miss C & Miss C. That's "Vicky", & "Little". We did report an exchange of comments, and all Parties commented on it subsequently. I thought it only right to comment that Vicky had said she was mis-reported, & she & the other Miss C pretty much put the thing to bed. It's not easy to be even-handed in these matters, but we try.

OK - if no one else is going to ask.  What was the other incident?

 ;popcorn;

Whoa, hold up!

I most certainly do not consider you to be untruthful, & have never suggested as such. I'm not sure we even know each other, or have even met. And I was not present at the Event, & so was wholly unaware, until now, that it was you who Reported the exhange to our Updaters.

We reported what someone (you, it now appears) told us. Miss Coren stenously denied it. We said as much on the thread, immediately we heard, that it had been denied by her, & Vicky & Fran then exchanged notes "on thread", & put it to bed.

We were not aware of the other alleged "incident" to which you refer.

There's no agenda here, no shouty accusations, just trying to be right by everyone.

Can everybody else also just hear TJ tensing up again and preparing for another awful day?

fyp

Can we please stop having bad days at the office please?  I am tired of all the shouting. Will you kids please go and do your homework and leave the rest of us to get the dinner ready?  :dontask:

fyp's

Mr Kendall, aged hip 'n all, wishes it to be known that it's nap time.

The current vogue where issues go straight from pop to bang is just modern society I suppose. We've seen so much of it recently.

I'm off to dream of trains, cranes, tractors, bridges, & sex.

night night Mr K x

Sex with tractors?

Great news for Vicky, well deserved too.

She does nothing for me but congrats to her I guess.

If anyone want to pm me the link to which page on the updates this "incident" occurred, id be grateful as knew nothing about it.

Dont post it on here as im sure it will only stir the shit.

Many Thanks

This will be my last post on the matter Mr Kendall so I wont stress you much more. Im simply stating my opinion that what Vicky said that day was out of order and I subsequently lost a lot respect for her. I was standing behind the table and watching and heard her say 'That was the result we were all hoping for'. Instead of making excuses for what she said being misunderstood she shoulda just said 'look, I was out of order and I apologise'. I won't labour this point as LittleMissC has asked me to leave it be as she will most likely get hassled at this being brought up again.

And btw we have met once before, once at gala notts ;)

how is Mr Kendall taking a nap and dreaming of sex good news for Vicky?

well, obviously he'll be thinking of her as he drops off, so chances are......

I had a dream about someone the other night - so if I have trouble looking anyone in the eye at the blonde bash, it was probably you :D

 ;) :kiss:

thats ok i wont notices your too tall for me to look in the eye

 ;ashamed;  ;busted;  you were in it actually Trace!

You never look any woman in the eye Iron - not at first anyway.....

v true.  I can always rely on Iron to talk to my tits :D

lol,Wouldnt it be great if you really could decide what/who you did dream about.

yeah.  My dreams always involve very random bunches of people.

Be a lot of dirty duvets in the morning tho!

well, if you count sheep as you're dropping off, chances are........

ahhh, so it was a group dream eh???

there were a lot of people in it, yes.  The setting was a poker competition :D

i have an excuse metal fixation at top of back and bottom of neck forces my head down

And.......
Proof that Claw needs to get a better bra..... :D

it looked ok to me

In that case, look away :D

In fact, I did dream about a blonde. A member of blonde Forum, that is. CRIPPIN.

Please don't press me on this.

Thank you Mr Stein Sir.

You are perfectly entitled to voice your opinion, & so are/were the other Parties. No point in debating it further, it's old ground that been well covered.

So I met a Greek Person at Gala Notts. Hmm, that narrows it down......

OMG. CRIPPIN is reading the Thread.

I'm going out. I may be a while.

Mr Kendall...........I really don't want to know!!!!!!

AQA. What did blonde forum member Tikay dream of today involving blonde member Crippen?

Answer: Tikay of the blonde forum had a dream tonight that Crippen was chasing her through the streets of Grimsby waving a giant octopus and a block of cheese.

Close?  :dontask:

AQA II says:  close.

AQA III says: Cheers Hun

FYP

Standard!

will you be able to look him in the eye without blushing next time you see him?

'will you be able to look him in the eye without blushing next time you see him?'

There won't be a next time and if there is I'll be wearing a wig, big hat and dark glasses so he'll never know it's me!!

Post of the Week :)

I'm so ashamed. I loved that boy, really.

But mate, thats what he was dreaming you were dressed in. I wouldnt worry too much , a man has to be very comfortable with his sexuality to admit to dreaming about other men.  :o

I think that might be what Crippin finds ever soo slightly disturbing, Mr Kendall.

I had a dream this morning that Kinboshi was prime minister :o

God help us all....wonder how fast I would get deported if that actually happened

I had a dream last night

actionjack in a beige suit smuggled me into dtd via the staff entrance, I sat down and played. On the table were Claw and Laxie. Dressed as serving wenches. Sadly the dream was then spoiled as tikay turned up on a white unicorn with chain mail on (tikay, not the unicorn). Apparently the unicorn had arrived by train.

Then I woke up, most confused.

 

rotflmfao especially at the thought of someone trying to smuggle you in ;)

I fit tfine through normal doors under a king sized duvet thank you very much. Tight passages can be a problem though, admittedly.

Resisting to post the obvious tacky comment.

Come on, give in...You know you want to...

Blimey - you've got more self control than me!

No no, don't tempt me


Go for it, give it the full tabloid treatment.

You'd wouldn't make it anywhere close to a port.

awww...you wanna keep me around..how cute is that?

Have you asked?  :dontask:
