La jugadora alemana Soraya Homam ha ganado el PartyPoker.com Women's World Open II (el abierto mundial para mujeres) que se celebró en Londres la semana pasada.
Homam, de origen iraní, ganó $50.000 en el heads up contra la alemana Stefanie Bergener ($22.000) y la coruñesa May Maceiras quien llegó al tercer lugar."Estoy verdaderamente emocionado de haber ganado”. Dijo Homam. “Se perdió mi equipaje durante el vuelo a Londres y eso me sacó de onda. Cuando lo encontraron y lo trajeron me sentí renovada. Suena raro pero me dio mas confianza y me hizo sentir mucho mas cómoda en la mesa”.Maceiras explicó que el evento se trató de “un torneo íntegramente televisado y, por tanto, con un formato shootout” que dividió las sólo 36 jugadoras en grupos de 6 para llegar únicamente la ganadora de cada mesa a la final. Para los detalles de cómo se le fue a May Maceiras en la mesa final lee su excelent blog detallado en http://es.pokernews.com/noticias/2008/10/maymaceiras/cronica-womens-world-open.html
