IveyPoker.com roster reaches 32 with signing of Lucille Cailly

Before the site has even officially launched, IveyPoker.com has already amassed a talented roster of sponsored poker players that rivals any site, including PokerStars. This past week the site’s stable of poker pros increased by one, with the announced signing of 2012 EPT Grand Final runner-up Lucille Cailly to the IveyPoker.com roster.

Cailly is one of the top female tournament talents in the game and has backed-up her EPT Grand Final runner-up showing with plenty of other live tournament results, including a runner-up finish in the 2009 Marakech Poker Open; a win in a $1,000 buy-in Main Event tournament in Paris in 2011, two WSOP cashes, a World Poker Tour cash, and three European Poker Tour cashes, including her seven-figure score in Monte Carlo last year.

Cailly, a Frenchwomen, joins a very diverse at IveyPoker.com, whether it be country of origin, games and stakes played, live and online players, and in the case of Cailly, gender. Ivey Poker now has five female players, Cailly, Gillian Epp, Jackie Glazier, Jennifer Harman, and Christina Lindley, making the site one of the most female-heavy sites in terms of sponsorship deals.

Ivey Poker has already taken over the reins at the online poker training site Leggo Poker, rebranding the site to the Ivey League, and adding some of the IveyPoker.com players as coaches to the already impressive lineup the site boasted. Only former Leggo Poker owner and lead instructor was officially signed as an Ivey Poker pro, but the rest of the coaching team at Leggo was left in place. The real launch of the site will come with the social media poker room launch when Ivey Poker takes the first steps towards becoming a full-fledged poker room, and the poker world will get its first glimpse at the potential for social media poker rooms moving forward.
