Coren, often dubbed the “Princess of Poker,” has been a prominent light on the UK tournament scene, with a career-defining win in the European Poker Tour’s Season 3 headlining a career with well over $1 million in tournament earnings, at present tenth all-time among women. Coren’s 2006 win at PokerStars EPT London, at that city’s Grosvenor Victoria Casino, was worth 500,000.

Coren is also widely regarded in the UK as a journalist and broadcaster, writing weekly columns for The Observer and
The Guardian and serving as commentator on shows such as “Celebrity Poker Club”. The daughter of the late humourist and journalist Alan Coren, she’s played poker for more than two decades and has long been regarded as a formidable player in cash games at the “Vic”.

Said Coren, on being named as the latest member of Team PokerStars: “I’m genuinely proud and happy to be an ambassador for PokerStars, I have played on the site for years. And I’m especially delighted to help promote the EPT, which was already my favourite tournament series even before I won in London. The only difference is that I used to play it in cheaper shoes. Team PokerStars Pro is a lineup of some of the most exciting and memorable characters in modern poker, I’m really chuffed to be joining them.”

Initial appearances for Coren as a member of Team PokerStars include the upcoming season of European Poker Tour events, plus other tournaments.

The most recent addition to the Venetian’s DSE lineup will run 22 consecutive days, from April 5th through April 26th, with $300+30 events on tap each day.

The $300+30 extended-play tourneys have found a popular niche in the Vegas poker market and have often been sold out during previous Deep Stack Extravaganza events. Each day’s event begins at 4 pm and starts with 4,500 in chips and 40-minute levels, with an additional 1,500 in chips available for a $10 dealer gratuity.

The Venetian had already established its Deep Stack Extravaganza I, II and III
series for 2008, with the 2008 DSE I running throughout much of February. The new April Series will now become 2008 DSE II.

The original 2008 Deep Stack Extravaganza II, meanwhile, has been renamed as 2008 DSE III and has been expanded to run from May 29th through July 16th, 2008, virtually paralleling the run of the World Series of Poker at the Rio, and, per its original schedule, includes a more varied level of buy-in amounts, up to $5,000 for the summer run’s final event. The original 2008 DSE III will now become 2008 DSE IV and remains on tap for November of 2008.
