Gillian Epp
The online poker site Bet24 has signed on another poker pro to their brand, Gillian Epp. The 27 year old is an established poker player who also writes columns for the poker magazines CasinoPlayer and PokerPro Canada.
At the age of 19, Gillian Epp started out as a poker dealer. It didn’t take her long to realize that she had a knack for the game. She quit her poker dealing job, as well as university, to become a professional poker player. She prefers cash games to tournament, as is evidenced by her quick rise from the mid-stakes games in Vancouver, Canada to the high stakes cash games in Las Vegas. The Bellagio is reportedly one of her favorite casinos.
She gets a rush by playing against the best players, allowing her to improve her game even more. “Playing against the best players raises your own level of play. I learn the most when I am put in challenging situations,” says the female pro.
She has preferred live games to online thus far, but now she will be throwing her hat into the online scene as she joins Bet24, a small, but growing site on the Ongame poker network. She joins other Bet24 pros such as Jesper Hougaard (the team captain), Thomas “Kalllllle” Pedersen, Casper Toft and half a dozen others. The Bet24 pros are from all over the world, including Sweden, Finland, Germany, Australia, Canada and the UK. Poker Manager of Bet24, Lards Kollind, is very happy with the way the team is shaping up. “We are getting very close to completing the elite of the 24s,” he says, referring to the two dozen spots they have reserved for pro players/ambassadors of their site.
