My most sincere congratulations go out to Maria Lampropoulos from Argentina for scooping a 7-figure payday. Her family, friends, and her boyfriend Ivan Luca, must be very happy for her!

Fantastic win for Maria, i like to see that woman won this tournament and beat a man who didn't want to do a deal with her for the 1st place prize, now he lost over 100,000 because of this, he was too confident in his skills and thought that he will beat woman easily, so I like that he lost,

Of course a very good prize to win, for your buy in of only 5000. A million always is impressive. It says she is from argentina but her name is greek all the way, probably leaving or born there, who knows

huge massive congratulations to Maria Lampropoulos for earning a cool million, that's more or less how i imagine an ideal woman, while i am emptying another bottle of vodka to get my brain cells into working mode, she is earning a million or two to support me in my quest of eternal wisdom...

Of course, maybe he overestimated his strength and mistakenly thought that a woman would play weaker than a man ... but most likely this day the skill and luck of Maria were stronger ... if a woman plays at the final table then her sex does not matter
This one was a win-win for feminists. Might be poker the only good sport around where they treat males and females equal. Not even chess doing that - they even has different rankings for each gender.

That´s a nice news, that a woman have won this big Party Poker Main Event and that two women sit at the final table. It was more intersting when not only male poke pros are playing these big live events and we saw a lot of good female poker players in the last years.
For those who did not know she is the girlfriend of fellow poker pro Ivan Luca and her win is not really a big surprise and wow what a good feeling it must have been for her in that last hand special congratulations to her

Many congratulations to Maria Lampropulos on winning this event and the £1,000,000 first prize. To beat a field this big is an achievement she can be very very proud of. Well done again to her
Nice 1 everyone is winning Millions Nice to read that a female player took it home this time 1Million in Argentina that's a massive beef Steak really nice
A win of a million pounds will certainly change the lives of the absolute majority of people and it's nice that such people are getting bigger and now maybe some women are inspired by the example of this woman and they start playing poker

I had some free time the other day so I watched partypoker £6 million guaranteed tournament live stream from beginning to end. Maria Lampropoulos's performance at the final table was quite impressive.

It was the greatest success in terms of awards obtained by some Argentinian this triumph achieved by Maria Lampropulos. She is the bride of the crack Ivan Luca and evidently he had much to do this feat achieved by this girl.
