Results from the Ladbrokes LEOCOP IV $330 ‘Daddy I’
Ladbrokes Poker LEOCOP IV event #3 Daddy I was won after eight and a half hours of play by princessace from West Lothian who scoops the princely sum of $26,097. 283 players had signed up to play, so the final table, which was arrived at after 7 hours of play, meant that the ten players had out-lasted 273 others. All ten enjoyed significant cashes and notched up some very important points for the LEOCOP leaderboard.
The initial exits were quick. The first to leave was stoaner who won $1,660 after his A-9 was beaten by A-J. He was swiftly followed by eddiyates after his set of sixes proved to be rubbish against a set of sevens! The biggest pot of the table saw two players exit simultaneously and established a new chip leader in Simes. Simes went on to knock out three further players including former chip leader TraXxX who eventually went out in sixth when his pocket queens were beaten by Simes’s A-9, which made a full house. princessaces played trip nines to perfection to secure her place in the heads-up against Simes after eight and a half hours of play. Some great poker play ensued and finally princessaces’ two pair banished Simes to second place and a cash of $16,607.50.
Edward Ihre, Managing Director of Ladbrokes Poker, chuckled: “This particular tournament is a firm favourite with Ladbrokes regulars. princessace really showed the other players who the Daddy was last night. In addition to the LEOCOP triumph, princessace has won the regular Tuesday Daddy tournaments three times. Her win guarantees her a place in our online poker tournament the Masters Event on November 22nd, where a PMVII semi final seat awaits the winner. We’re running a Daddy II next week with the same Buy-In ($300+ $30) and added money as last night.”
He continued: “The win is a brilliant precursor to Wednesday’s schedule which includes the Ladies Championship tournament with $2,500 added which starts at 20.00 GMT. I suspect that this tournament will be one of the toughest in the schedule as it is likely to have a number of the ladies from this years ELC playing it.”

There is also a ‘Beat The Team’ tournament tonight that begins at 19.00 GMT on Ladbrokespoker.com.
