- PokerStars Caribbean Adventure continues ahead with full throttle and this Sunday saw the official final day of the Main Event which brought many exciting moments to poker layers from around the world. This time the throne in the culminating event was claimed by female poker pro Maria Constanza Lampropulos, who managed to reach the top.

With the 2019 PCA started, we take a look back at the most controversial hand of last year’s PCA Main Event. The players involved are none other than the champ herself, Maria Lampropulos and the runner-up Shawn Buchanan.
She is a poker player from Brooklyn, New York who is consistently ranked as one of the best poker players in the world. She is currently the highest-earning poker player among women in the World Series of Poker (WSOP). Outside poker, where she has undoubtedly left an indelible mark, she works for the investment firm Bridgewater Associates.
Chip leader Maria Lampropulos is in the SB with Q3 and raises to 275,000. Shawn Buchanan in the BB calls with A7.
The Flop is 742 rainbow, Lampropulos bets 230,000 and Buchanan calls. Now the pot is at 1,060,000 and the turn is a 7. Lampropulos, perhaps sensing she’s now drawing dead, checks.
Buchanan doesn’t let her get away that easy and puts the pressure on by betting 375,000 in chips, which she calls. The pot is now at 1,810,000, and the river is 4, giving Buchanan a full house.
Lampropulos once again checks, she only has a Queen high and is sitting with a comfortable stack of 4.7 Million. Buchanan, who needs this pot to become the chip leader, bets 1,100,000 in chips.
Lampropulos thinks Buchanan could bluff in that spot and tanks before Buchanan calls the clock on her. After thinking it through, she calls with only queen high, losing to Buchanan’s full house.
