A new poker deam couple

It has been a rather incredible and often unbelievable love story to follow over the past few years, starting when the Las Vegas-based poker pro and vlogger said she was “looking for a poker pro boyfriend” in one of her earliest vlogs from 2018.

Cordeiro’s often comedic approach to life and poker vlogging may have courted some controversy, but it also led to a trans-Atlantic love affair with Englishman, Benjamin “Spraggy” Spragg, a Team PokerStars Online pro.

Spragg had his own version of their relationship status, and it was clear from early on that the pair had humour as well as poker in common…

Further poker couples

Poker has, of course, seen some other big-name match-ups, with Liv Boeree and Igor Kurganov together since 2014, Kristen Bicknell and Alex Foxen getting engaged earlier this year, and old-school poker pros Jennifer Tilly and Phil Laak a couple since, it seems, forever.

Cordeiro and Spragg announced their own engagement late last year, having survived many months of lockdown together as a modern-day “trial by fire” test of their relationship.

Again it was Cordeiro with the jokes, though, as Spragg also revealed his rather painful-looking poker downswing…

They finally took things a step further than the other poker couples listed, although it was far from an ostentatious show of wealth or love in the way Daniel Negreanu’s 2019 marriage to Amanda Leatherman was.

That saw a luxury beach-side affair with tuxedos and white wedding gowns, along with some rather famous poker guests…

For Spraggy and his gorgeous new wife Marle, however, it was dressing down Vegas-style as they signed on the dotted line for what will hopefully be a long and successful marriage.

Congratulations came in from all over the world, the poker community well to the forefront as the messages of love and best wishes poured in, as seen below:

  • “Congrats!! Love the photo” Maria Konnikova
  • “This is so awesome, congrats you guys!!!!”  Liv Boeree
  • “Ayyyyy congrats guys” Lex Veldhuis
  • “Congrats!! You are shining here. It’s so beautiful to see.” Ebony Kenney
