PokerStars.com today announced its latest signing, London writer, broadcaster, and poker player Vicky Coren. Coren won the EPT London event in season three, picking up £500,000 for her victory on home turf, the Victoria Casino.
“I’m genuinely proud and happy to be an ambassador for PokerStars,” said Coren. “I have played on the site for years, 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 lineup of some of the most exciting and memorable characters in modern poker, I’m really chuffed to be joining them.”
Coren began playing poker aged 16 and is a regular cash game player at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino in London. She is a well-known and highly regarded broadcaster and journalist, appearing regularly on British radio and in broadsheet newspapers, as well as commenting on TV poker tournaments.
Thomas Wyse, PokerStars.com UK marketing manager, said of his latest signing, “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.”
