Purple Lounge player makes final table

LONDON, England -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Rising Star and Purple Lounge, sponsored player Michelle Orpe has taken another step in her professional poker career by reaching the final table and cashing in her first sponsored poker event for Purple Lounge. Orpe, well known as a presenter on Sky Poker reached the final table of the European Ladies Poker Championship in London on May 4th. A strong field of experienced professionals failed to faze Michelle and she outlasted amoung others: WSOP Europe winner Annette Obrestad to reach the final table and cash at only her 2nd sponsored event.

I am a newly sponsored player at Purple Lounge and this is only my 2nd tournament, to cash at all is amazing and a great achievement. Liv Boeree went on to win it. She found KK against JJ just before I went out and doubled through so was in great shape but this event has given me the confidence to realise that I can do even better at events to come. Says Orpe "I am a newly sponsored player at Purple Lounge and this is only my 2nd tournament, to cash at all is amazing and a great achievement. Liv Boeree went on to win it.

The tournament puts Michelle Orpe in a great frame of mind going into her next event, representing Purple Lounge at the World Poker Showdown(WPS) event at the fabulous Ocean World resort in the Dominican Republic which begins on May 9th and leads into her first WSOP (World Series of Poker) event in July.

With confidence brimming over and the poker skills to match we're sure that this star is likely to shine for a long time to come.
