Russian Model Aliisa Sibgatova Makes Waves at EPT Monte-Carlo
Aliisa Sibgatova, a model and designer from Saint Petersburg, made her mark at the EPT Monte-Carlo. The Russian beauty finished 27th in the EPT Monte-Carlo Main Event, earning €23,100. This was her first major poker tournament, and she attracted significant attention from Russian media and poker enthusiasts.
Sibgatova is no stranger to the spotlight. She won a beauty contest in China in 2008. Around 10 years ago, she launched her own clothing brand, Vanda Fondunaeva, on the Philippines. Her foray into poker seems to be more of a hobby than a serious pursuit, as she is not a professional poker player.
Prior to the EPT Monte-Carlo, Sibgatova participated in the French National Championship. She finished 143rd, earning €2,100. This was her first recorded prize in poker. Her performance at the EPT Monte-Carlo has sparked interest in her future poker endeavors, but it remains to be seen whether she will continue to pursue the game seriously.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
