Ukrainian woman who conquered world poker: Olga Yermolcheva's success story
Olga Ermolcheva is currently the most successful Ukrainian woman in the poker world, although only a few years ago she did not play poker and did not plan to build a career in this field.
Olga Yermolcheva was born on December 19 of 1992 in Cherkasy and never planned to connect her life with poker - the girl was planning to graduate from the Faculty of Romance-Germanic Philology and become a teacher of English and literature, writes “Observer«.
But her life changed dramatically when a former classmate suggested that Olga play poker, and she liked it so much that the next step was learning and forming the first starting capital.
Olga also tried herself as a model, and her external data would certainly allow her to go far in this area, but as a result she nevertheless chose poker, the profile edition writes Cardmates.
According to her, the beauty of poker is that success in it can only be achieved thanks to its intelligence.
“If a girl achieves success in poker, no one will say about her that it was through bed,” said the poker player.
In 2011, Yermolcheva got to the main event of the RPT through the qualifying tournament, and although there she could not get the winners, this tournament was the first step of her career in professional poker.
Already in 2012, Olga got to her first final table at the stage of the European Poker Tour in San Remo, where she took second place, and then won the RPT. In addition to live tournaments, Yermolcheva also continues to play online poker successfully, earning over $ 5 200 in 000 for years.
In 2014, Olga won a special tournament, the main prize of which was the opportunity to get yourself as a teacher of one of four professional poker players - Yevgeny Kachalov, Bertrand Grospellier, Vanessa Selbst or Andre Akkari. It was the first Ukrainian who became Olga's mentor, having conducted 4 classes with her, following which he gave a very good assessment: “Olga was already a very good player before I started to train her, so I can’t record her achievements only on my own account . But I hope that some of the things that I taught her helped her to achieve high results in the game. I consider her my friend and I am sure that she has a big and bright future in poker. ”
Already in 2015, Yermolcheva won prizes at tournaments in Morocco and France. The most striking moment in the girl's career was participation in the Latin American poker tour in Panama, where, in a difficult struggle for the title of the Main Event champion, Olga first made her way to the final and then took second place, winning $ 113 580. Olya earned more than $ 220 thousand in tournament poker, and this is the best result among Ukrainian poker players.
Today, the girl lives in the USA and plays tournaments in a casino not far from home.
Ermolcheva has an excellent sense of humor and leads an active lifestyle. A few years ago, she made a list of things she wanted to do, writes “In the middle".
Among them:
- Visit the roof where he lived Carlson;
- Get into Bollywood and go to the casting cinema;
- Make love in the hayloft;
- Visit the Mausoleum;
- Jump from the stage into the crowd;
- Ride a tractor across the field;
- Play HA with Antonius;
- Make a funny video, see, laugh, delete;
- Get lost in the forest, sit on a stump and eat a pie;
- Buy a piece of the moon.
Her comic motto: “You put on a blouse with a deep neckline and you don’t have to make up your eyes.” According to the girl, she often uses her striking appearance and “turns on the fool” in tournaments to fool men who do not take her seriously, which usually costs them victory in the game.
