Online Poker at PokerStarsBesides being a television celebrity, Helen Chamberlain has a passion for poker. She grew up playing the game with her grandfather for pennies and treats. In 2005, Helen was a presenter on the televised Celebrity Poker Club and later on All-Star Poker Challenge. She also began to play in online games. Her coverage of poker events led her to get an invitation to play in the 2005 Poker Million tournament. There she proved that she was not just a pretty face taking up space at the felt. She won the celebrity qualifier and made it into the tournament where she expected to be immediately knocked out. To everyone’s surprise, including her, she proved to have a talent for the game. By playing on pure gut instinct, she advanced into the semi-finals where she won and then advanced into the finals. In the No Limit Hold’Em Grand Finale, she took second place and won $400,000. She ended up using her money to buy a Range Rover for her boyfriend. She also bought the racehorse Birkspiel. The seemingly impulse buy turned into a good investment. On the horse’s first race in 2006 after Helen bought him, he won a Group 3 race in Germany for 50,000 euros. A month later he took third place in another race. Since then Helen has added another horse to her stable, the flat racer Napoletano, blood-related to the Thoroughbred race horse Northern Dancer.

In 2007, the television/website Sky Poker was launched. The simultaneous online and broadcast show was one of the first to allow players to watch their online game being televised as they played. Helen became the studio presenter for the new station and did coverage for the games.
