adi31 - St Orens De Gameville, France
23 year old Adeline aka adi31 started the year in style, taking first place and $1,807 in the $5,000 GTD Late Night (six seater). She then followed that up with a first place in the $1,000 GTD Deep & Steep on January 5 for $517, before taking down a $9,234 payday, with her Primetime #7 win on January 10!
You won Primetime #7 in style against tough opponents (ovnis, Smudge777, Tigerwing...), what was your first reaction?
In my head it was like: "OMG, LOL at last!!!"
Did you manage to go to sleep after that?
No, impossible!!! I had to wake up my boyfriend at 4.30 in the morning to tell him the result, I couldn't help it.
You've already won a lot of tournaments in January, what is your 2010 secret?
I think it's because I didn't get any bad beats, it seems my luck has finally changed!
Over $10,000 just after Christmas, that must be handy! Any plan on how to use the money?
That is very handy indeed, but I haven't decided what to do with it yet.
How long have you been playing poker?
I started playing two years ago, I don't play live, only online.
What did you feel when you reached the final table? Excited? Confident?
I arrived at the final table as the chipleader, so I was feeling confident.
Who was your toughest opponent at the final table?
I don't want to sound rude, but I didn't really have difficult opponents, it went well :)
Thanks a lot for your time and I think I can wish you a happy new year 2010, very good start!
