A Look at the EPT Barcelona Ladies Event Final Table
The winners of big buy-in events tend to garner the headlines at any circuit stop, but someone else managed to get 15-minutes of fame at the EPT Barcelona��Liya Gerasimova. The girlfriend of Team PokerStars Pro Ivan Demidov, with whom she shares a 2-year-old son, Gerasimova took down the �550 Ladies Event in dramatic fashion.
After navigating a tough field of 63, which included Claudia ��dasultanz�� Csongei and Jan ��jamjars69�� Combes, Gerasimova made it to three-handed play; albeit, with less than one big blind remaining. According to the PokerStars Blog, ��Liya was forced to go all-in blind, so [Darya] Hulyk and Lucia Martinez called to check the hand down. As the last card was dealt Liya finally turned over her cards. She found aces.�� She would go on to double two more times in a row and put herself right back in contention. From there, she went on to clinch victory.
