Leo Margets – Poker Player Profile
Hailing from Barcelona, Spain, Leo Margets first picked up poker four years ago when her boyfriend introduced her to the game. She began developing her skills in local clubs and actually won the first live event she played – The University Championships – held in her hometown of Barcelona. Following the victory, 888.com approached her with a sponsorship opportunity that would allow her to travel the world playing in international tournaments, and she happily accepted.
The highlight of Leo’s career thus far came in 2009 when she finished 27th in the World Series of Poker Main Event. Along with $352K in cash, Margets received the Last Woman Standing Cup, an award given to the last woman left in the Main Event field. Margets’ next biggest cash was a third in the $2K No Limit Hold’em Six-Max event at the 2010 Aussie Millions, which was good for $54K.
Being a woman in a relatively undeveloped poker nation is an interesting position for Margets, and given her success in 2009, she could find herself carrying the poker flag for her country in years to come.
