Tournament Recap
The Women’s Winter Festival achieved a historic milestone, becoming the largest women’s poker event ever held outside of Las Vegas, a testament to its resounding success and global appeal. During Day 1b, Kerryjane Craigie, Festival Founder and Poker Director at the Hippodrome Casino in London, made an exciting announcement, highlighting the festival’s significance in empowering women in poker and expressing hopes for its continued growth in the future.
Several familiar faces graced the Main Event, including Kyna England, 2024 EPT Barcelona Ladies Main Event Champion Soraya Estrada, and Nikki Limo. Unfortunately, none managed to make it past the bustling Day 1b. Nataly Sopacuaperu also faced disappointment, being eliminated on the bubble early on Day 2, just missing out on the minimum cash.
Christina Solli entered Day 2 as the chip leader and maintained a steady stack throughout. She eliminated several players, including PokerStars Pro Jen Shahade, and ended Day 2 as the frontrunner.
Day 3 Drama
Jennifer Steele led the counts going into Day 3, followed closely by Solli and Ann-Roos Callens. Solli had a turbulent day, losing ground after doubling up Tina Abery, who hit a river save.
Shortly after, Solli’s run came to an end in 11th place when she ran into Ann-Roos Callens’ pocket aces. Callens capitalized on her momentum, advancing to the final table and eventually securing a spot in the heads-up battle.
Heads-Up Showdown
The heads-up duel commenced six hours into Day 3 featuring Callens against Lampropulos, who had started Day 3 with just 14 big blinds but steadily built her stack. A critical double-up against Callens ignited her streak, culminating in the elimination of Marta Porter in third place.
Heads-up action lasted less than an hour. A pivotal moment occurred when Callens’ shove resulted in a dramatic chop after the river saved her tournament life. However, Lampropulos quickly retook, chipping away at Callens’ stack over three consecutive hands.
The final hand saw Callens shove with K♦6♥, called by Lampropulos holding Q♣5♦. A queen on the flop sealed the victory for Lampropulos, crowning her the Women’s Winter Festival Main Event Champion.
In addition to her Main Event victory, Lampropulos showcased her prowess in the UKIPT Women’s High Roller last week, where she also claimed first place. Looking ahead, she revealed her plans to compete at EPT Prague next month.
The end of this event concludes the PokerNews coverage of the Women’s Winter Festival. Stay tuned for live updates on our upcoming events, where we will continue to bring you the latest action, insights, and stories from the world of poker.
