Still the exodus of poker players leaving "Sky Poker" now seems faster than the English footballers can get home from South Africa from the World Cup.
So what success can be gleaned from the relics of the doomed site .
One girl who saw the light and got out before the lights were going out is Michelle Orfe..
The star attraction Michelle lost by Skypoker is currently working & playing for
www.pokerstars.com
Michelle is a recognised face on the poker scene and has been involved in the industry for 5 years now. She learnt poker whilst presenting the cult TV show Poker Night Live and found she had a natural flare for the game. If you have watched poker on the TV it is most likely Michelle was involved somehow.
She loves playing the game live and proved she could hold her own at the tables when she won her first ever sponsored poker tournament, a qualifier into the European Poker Tour in London at the Victoria Casino. She won her seat out of a field of over 200 players. Since then she has signed a years sponsorship deal to Purple Lounge, with whom she used to work for as an Affiliate Manager, giving her an insight into the world of poker behind the scenes as well.
She is an adaptable player who is not intimidated by the large male dominance at the tables, if anything she knows how to use this to her advantage.
In previous posts I've told how SkyPoker is being so badly run, this is a prime example of how to score an own goal ..
Good luck Michelle .. The new face of the live EPT tour ..
