Welcome
Welcome to the official website of the Betfred Ladies Poker Tour 2008.
This is the second year of the UK's only all-female poker tour where the 2008 Champion will win a £20,000 sponsorship package for 2009 from Betfred.
Lynne Beaumont is celebrating a fantastic double success after becoming the Betfred Ladies Poker Tour champion for the second consecutive year. In a cliffhanging Grand Final of the tour at London's Western Club, Lynne again secured a £20,000 sponsorship package from Betfred as she reinforced her status as Britain's top lady poker player. At the end of a tense game that spanned nearly 10 hours, a straight thanks to a jack on the river clinched victory in the heads-up for Whitley Bay-based Lynne over Christine Evans.
