Rocket Start for Lampropulos
As mentioned earlier, the $10,000 Tag Team Event was won by a poker couple called "Livgor" — Liv Boeree and Igor Kurganov.
There are other couples who've made their names in the world of poker, too. Maria Lampropulos and Ivan Luca are one of the first that come to mind. The South Americans joined the $1,000 Tag Team tournament in the last minute, entering with just 10 big blinds. It's Lampropulos who's taking care of the chips, and her boyfriend can be proud. To make it short: she's crushing.
Recently, the reporters arrived at her table upon hearing the dealer's obligatory words, "Seat open." By that time, the chips were already shipped to Lampropulos, and all 52 cards were face-down, ready to reshuffle. Lampropulos smiled, and when she put her chips in the proper stacks, the count became evident. It was roughly 17,000, meaning Lampropulos managed to more than triple-up her belongings since she joined the field — an Impressive way to let the world know you're in.
