Lampropulos defeated Ann-Roos Callens in the final heads-up battle to secure the top prize
Maria Lampropulos has claimed yet another impressive poker title, winning the Women’s Winter Festival Main Event in London. The tournament, which was part of PokerStars’ inaugural women-only poker festival, drew a field of 271 participants, showcasing the growing interest in female-focused events within the poker world.
The £400 (US$500) Main Event concluded with Lampropulos defeating Ann-Roos Callens in an intense heads-up battle to secure the £20,000 (US$25,000) top prize. Known for her exceptional skills and a resume filled with prestigious titles, the Argentinian pro further cemented her reputation as one of the leading figures in women’s poker.
Lampropulos’ victory is the latest in a string of accomplishments. Her accolades include two WSOP Circuit rings, an 888Live High Roller win, and triumphs in major events like the PCA Main Event and a partypoker LIVE Main Event. Notably, she also recently won the Ladies Event at the UKIPT Nottingham, showcasing her consistency and dominance in women-only competitions.
The Women’s Winter Festival, held in London, marked a significant milestone as PokerStars’ first event dedicated solely to female players. Alongside the Main Event, the festival featured a High Roller tournament, offering players an exclusive opportunity to compete in a welcoming and empowering environment. Social media buzz surrounding the event indicates its success, with many praising the initiative and calling for more such festivals in the future.
With its strong turnout and positive reception, the Women’s Winter Festival appears to become a regular feature on the poker calendar. Events like these not only celebrate women in poker but also create a platform for players to showcase their skills and inspire others to join the game. Lampropulos’ victory is a testament to the talent and competitiveness present in the women’s poker community.
