Spanish pro becomes LockPRO’s first female player
Lock Poker released the news last week that Spaniard Leo
Margets was to become the latest member of its LockPRO ELITE team.
This appointment makes Margets, who was previously sponsored by 888poker.com, the first female player to
make the team, which includes other European pros such as Eric Lynch, Chris
Moorman, Bryan Pellegrino and Casey Jarzabeck.
Margets first got the attention of executives when she was
the last woman standing in the 2009 WSOP main event, coming 27th for
$352,000 prize. Since then, she has amassed more than $640k in total career
earnings.
Chief executive of Lock Poker Jennifer Larson stated
enthusiastically that ‘Leo is
a dream come true for Lock! She is brilliant, driven, incredibly talented and
represents the brand perfectly.’
It can be
assumed that Lock Poker is definitely in need of some good publicity, with the
announcement coming shortly after a scandal broke out involving sponsored
player Jose ‘girah’ Macedo. Lock Poker recently dropped Macedo when details of
his participation in an elaborate scam came to the surface.
