Hundreds of poker players tune into the partypoker Twitch channel<\/strong><\/a> and watch the various streams we host. There are regular giveaways for our viewers and Moyra Davies<\/strong> is one of our recent winners.<\/p>\n

Moyra isn\u2019t what you\u2019d call your typical poker player. You won\u2019t find her sporting a hoodie and the latest noise-cancelling headphones. It\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll find her grinding 10-tables simultaneously. You will, however, find a lady who plays poker for the sheer fun and competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a nearly 72-year-old widow<\/strong> who used to watch Late Night Poker<\/strong><\/em> on TV. I have always loved playing cards and one night after a darts match, a friend and I went to the casino where I saw a notice for a poker tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n

Little did Moyra know then that this would be the start of a new hobby.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe following week off I trotted with my \u00a311 to play. I lasted around three hours but I went back the following week and won \u00a360<\/strong>. I loved the company and the banter, despite not even knowing the difference between a rebuy and a freezeout! I was hooked. I really wanted some more experience so I joined the Betfred Ladies Tour where I met the most fantastic ladies who are still friends and the most lovely people.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Profitable Trip to Las Vegas<\/h2>\n

Playing more poker, discussing hands, and gaining more experience stood Moyra in good stead when she jetted off to fabulous Las Vegas. The trip turned out to be quite profitable.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sons gave me seven nights in Vegas for my 60th birthday<\/strong> and what an experience it was. I played the lunchtime game in Caesar\u2019s and then went to Harrah\u2019s where they played a $10 Head Hunter competition. What fun that was, met some real old-time players who just did not believe a woman could have a hand! Oh dear, how wrong they were! I play an evening tournament in Caesars where I won $2,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

That juicy prize saw Moyra take the next day off from poker so she could enjoy some of the many shops in Las Vegas, a slap-up meal and even one of Vegas\u2019 famous shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t win again but hey ho, it was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Closer to home, Moyra recently tuned into our card-up coverage of a WPT Championship event on Twitch. She entered one of the free draws and won a $33 ticket<\/strong>, which she turned into a $320 seat that eventually became $1,250! Moyra finished 159th in the WPT #04 Mini 6-Max Championship<\/strong>, which is an incredible result we’re sure you’ll agree.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like to watch live poker on TV and I joined Twitch TV. partypoker have come on in leaps and bounds in their coverage and I love it now that we can see the hole cards with a delay. I enter all their draws for tickets and have been lucky a few times.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen playing the $33 ticket, I never for one minute imagined I would win a $320 ticket, especially as the system froze while I was sixth out of 42 players with 27 seats available. However, I was awarded a ticket as per partypoker\u2019s policies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flopping Quads in a WPT Event<\/h2>\n

Moyra used the $320 ticket to take a shot at World Poker Tour<\/strong><\/a> glory. While she didn\u2019t manage to be the last player standing, she did bank $1,250 for her superb performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever in a million years did I ever imagine I\u2019d be playing in a WPT tournament, but I had the most amazing start. Second hand in, I had kings and flopped quads. I bet and got raised all-in so doubled up. On a later hand, I raised with AK and got put all-in by A9. They flopped two pair and I thought I was a gonner until a beautiful king on the river.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our Twitch fan eventually busted in the money and turned her $33 freebie into $1,250, much to the delight of our stream\u2019s moderators and commentator James Dempsey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI popped into Twitch to let them know I was playing. The moderators and James got as excited as me when I posted my result of winning $1,250, it was like I had won a title. The only thing wrong with the partypoker coverage on Twitch now is the final table. I think there\u2019s far too much table and not enough of the players showing and by having a deep table it\u2019s hard to follow the action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Points noted and fed back, Moyra!<\/p>\n

Those winnings are being put to good use. Moyra plans to treat her family, especially her 12-year-old grandson, but the majority is going towards purchasing a mobility scooter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a nasty back which limits my walking.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt we\u2019ll be seeing Moyra in action at the partypoker tables soon, just make sure you don\u2019t underestimate her<\/strong>! Moyra doesn\u2019t have any poker goals as such, she plays for the love of the game, but that doesn\u2019t mean she doesn\u2019t take this crazy game seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cI play poker these days for pleasure. It really is a great game and keeps one\u2019s mind active<\/strong>. I really don\u2019t have any ambitions to achieve, but unexpected wins like mine are really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n
