Victoria Coren Joins Team Pokerstars
PokerStars have announced the addition of Victoria Coren to Team PokerStars Pro.
Coren was the 2006 London European Poker Tour Champion and is the UK’s second most successful female player with lifetime tournament winnings of over $1.2 million. Vicky took up poker aged 16 and has been a regular cash game player at London’s Grosvenor Victoria Casino for a number of years. In EPT Season 3, she became one of the most popular champions ever when she claimed the fist prize of £500,000 at her home casino, ‘The Vic’.
“I’m genuinely proud and happy to be an ambassador for PokerStars, I have played on the site for years,” said Coren. “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 line up of some of the most exciting and memorable characters in modern poker, I’m really chuffed to be joining them.”

Is it legal to gamble at 16 or did she just get a headstart? And that's amazing that she's kept at it and has become that successful. $1.2 million is just beyond me, but I'm happy she's been able to win that much.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume its legal in the UK at 16 since that seems to be where she is. I think its great such a young woman has accomplished so much and get into such a great place to do even more.
