It’s all systems go for 888poker at the moment. The platform has just begun its CNP888poker LIVE Madrid Festival as well as being in the midst of its $2 million guaranteed KO Games online series.
On top of that, the online operator has also unveiled its newest ambassador, Lucia Navarro!
Navarro will be teaming up with Ian Simpson, Vivian Saliba, Kara Scott and Alexandre Mantovani in wearing the 888poker patch.
Who is Lucia Navarro?
Navarro, who comes from Alicante in Spain, had a love for cards since she was a child and was often found hounding family members to all types of card games.
That passion then became transfixed on poker with Navarro playing professionally since 2013. She specialized in online cash games with the odd jaunt to her local casino where she dived into more cash games as well as the odd tournament.
“The brand is dedicated to player enjoyment and satisfaction”
Navarro didn’t have to wait long for her first significant score and pocketed a $22,000 payday after winning a CNP Valencia Main Event.
She then moved to London in 2015 and became a regular at the world-famous Victoria Casino. The good results kept coming for Navarro as she then scooped the $35,000 up top in the 2019 CNP Alicante Main Event.
“I look forward to representing 888poker with pride.”
At the 2022 World Series of Poker, Navarro recorded two cashes according to WSOP.com.
Navarro boosted her bankroll by $2,638 after finishing 66th in the Ladies Championship. Days later, she then finished in 241st place in the WSOP Main Event for $46,800.
“I am super excited and grateful to be part of a strong and diverse team of ambassadors at 888poker. The brand is dedicated to player enjoyment and satisfaction, which are some of the reasons I decided to wear the 888poker patch,” Navarro said.
“With so much love for the game and an eye to making it even more player-focused, I look forward to representing 888poker with pride. Thank you for the opportunity,” she added.
