Others taking part in the event include Beverley Pace, Catgirl, and Liv Boree. Samantha Alleyne, spokesperson for the sponsor, said, “Increasingly women are going head-to-head with the opposite sex and coming out on top as 19-year-old, Annette Obrestad also playing in the ELC, proved last year when she won £1m in the WSOPE. However, the ELC tournament is ideal for those who want to be guaranteed a warm welcome into the world of live poker.”
