Lauren Roberts in the Field

Lauren Roberts is a former hedge fund manager and high stakes poker aficionado, who flew in across the Atlantic to play in the EPT Barcelona Main Event. With her strongly developed math background, Roberts has amassed nearly $500,000 in lifetime winnings already, including two six-figure cashes in 10K tournaments.

Roberts is currently sitting at 45,000 after surrendering a pot to two-time EPT National winner Georgios Vrakas. Roberts called a bet of 2,800 on the turn but folded to a 7,000 bet on the river.
