Move over Phil Laak and Jennifer Tilly, poker has a new Power Couple.

Maria Lampropoulos and Ivan Luca

682 players entered the Eureka Poker Tour Main Event in Rozvadov this week, and the final two players had extra cause to celebrate.

That's because Ivan Luca got heads-up with his girlfriend Maria Lampropoulos to fight it out for the €124,890 first prize.

Unsurprisingly, the two did a deal heads-up. Luca eventually won the event for €106,186 with Lampropoulos taking home €95,404. A combined score of over €200,000 for the young Argentinian couple.

It certainly looks like we may have a new Power Couple in poker. Lampropoulos also came 2nd less than two weeks ago in the WPT National event in Brussels for €60,200. Luca is racking up the wins frequently, he now has almost $3 million in combined online and live cashes, most notably his first WSOP Bracelet last summer in the $1,000 No Limit Event.
