partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri Ships the Charity Event
Partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri is on top of the world after she just shipped the partypoker LIVE Millions Charity Event. Partypoker decided to generously double the amount donated to charity to €10,000.
So incredibly happy to have just won €10,000 in the @partypokerlive Charity Event for @LindseyLodge #?

Breviglieri shared with PokerNews, she feels more emotional as compared to other poker success and will need to wait a little while before hopping into the Day 1e field. She explained that winning money for charity feels much nicer than winning money for yourself. She also shared she can't wait to get home to donate a fat check of €10,000 to a local charity that is near and dear to her heart, the Lindsey Lodge Hospice.
It didn't appear that Breviglieri would get anywhere near a victory early on the in event. She first chopped a pot after getting it all in on a jack-high flop holding king-jack against fellow partypoker Ambassador Jan-Peter Jachtmann after the board pair and an ace appeared on the river.
Then when play was five-handed, she was down to a little more than three big blinds after she three-bet jammed all-in with pocket queens and was unable to hold against German ex-footballer Stefan Effenberg's king-jack after he called.
After that lady luck was on Breviglieri's side.
"I got a bit lucky after that," Breviglieri shared. "I shoved pocket fives and was called by pocket nines. The board ran four cards to my flush and after that, I didn't look back as I have plenty of short-stack experience."
