The working mum from Kent said: "Goliath is my favourite poker festival week of the year and I can’t wait! Nothing comes close and that’s not just because I have a 100% cash record for it. The energy, buzz, and fun atmosphere that the Goliath generates is unique, coupled with the excellent structure and value for poker players, it makes it a tournament not to be missed, really ticking every box!
"I’m especially looking forward to the addition of the Women’s Championship this year and playing the “Jokers Wild” event too."
