Popular chess streamer and 888poker Ambassador Alexandra Botez made a deep run at the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event, but she came up short when her pocket kings lost to a runner-runner straight.
Botez, a high-rated chess player from Canada, has been making a name for herself in poker with strong finishes in 2023 – including a win in the Hyper Turbo Freezeout at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
A record-setting field of 10,043 turned out for the 2023 Main Event and the top 1,507 players went him with a min-cash of $15,000.
