30,000 reasons not to teach your girlfriend poker!

The PPT blog would request that all supportive boyfriends look away now, since we're about to tell a cautionary tale that could change your mind.

Let's be clear. We are a huge fan of female players - we have a number of talented women dotted among the field today - but even the most noble men among us will surely confess their sympathy for István Szőlősi .

The Hungarian player joined us in Vilamoura for this weekend's PPT Main Event, bringing loyal supporter and girlfriend Orosolya Czimodor along for the trip.

At the last moment, Orosolya made the decision to play her first big event and though we're only two hours into the tournament - it is she who is boasting the bragging rights!

While István struggled to make an impression in the first two hours, his good lady was making quite the impact, twice doubling through to build a tower 30,000 chips high.

A short while after the interval, her one-time tutor was knocked out when his 9-9 ran into Queens, and he took the walk of shame across to Orosolya's table. Girl power!
