Sofia Lövgren With a Deep Run in WPT Cyprus

The female Ambassadors of 888poker are doing great at the moment. Yesterday Xuan Liu won the $215 Sunday 2nd Chance on PokerStars and today Sofia Lövgren went deep in the The World Poker Tour Cyprus.

The $4,400 Main Event had 404 entries, which created a prize pool of $1,471,320 – with $310k up top for the winner.

Plenty of notables names were at the felt, among them Sam Trickett, Toby Lewis, Vladimir Troyanovskiy, Mickey Petersen, Nicolas Chouity and Antonio Buonanno.

Sofia Lövgren entered on Day 1b and she was able to finish the day with a stack around average. On Day 2 she continued to chip up even though she lost a big pot to Luca Moschitta with AK versus QQ. With around 130 players left Lövgren was the last woman standing:
