Biography
Biography Timeline
Coren Mitchell was born on 18 August 1972 in Hammersmith, West London, the only daughter of the humourist and journalist Alan Coren and his wife, Anne Kasriel. She grew up in Cricklewood, North London, with her elder brother, journalist Giles Coren. She is related to Canadian journalist Michael Coren.
She adapted the newspaper columns of John Diamond into a play called A Lump in my Throat, which was performed during the 2000 Edinburgh Festival at the Assembly Rooms, the Grace Theatre and the New End Theatre in London, before she adapted it again for a BBC Two docudrama with Neil Pearson, broadcast in 2001.
During her poker career, she has become a close friend of The Hendon Mob and mixes weekly home games with frequent visits to two regular casinos. She appeared in five episodes of Late Night Poker, although she never made it to a series grand final. However, in Late Night Poker’s spin-off Celebrity Poker Club, she defeated Willie Thorne to win the series two grand final before joining Jesse May as the commentator in series three. In the 2003 Hold-Em 100 tournament in London, she was a guest dealer for the final table.
On 24 September 2006 she won the main event of the European Poker Tour London, earning a prize of £500,000 and defeating Australian professional Emad Tahtouh. On 20 November 2011 she finished second in the International Federation of Poker’s inaugural The Table World Championship, eventually losing heads-up with 29-year-old Spaniard Raul Mestre. She received $100,000 for second place, $10,000 of which she donated to Age UK. In April 2014 she won the main event of the European Poker Tour San Remo, earning €476,100 and becoming the first player to have won two EPT titles. As of 2018 her total live tournament winnings exceed $2,470,000.
In 2007, after the death of her father, having put a notice in The Times inviting those who knew him to attend a service, she was warned by a friend that a “gang of serial funeral crashers” based in the south of England were checking death notices to find funerals and memorial services to crash for their own enjoyment. After receiving some suspicious email replies to her notice, she instigated a hoax to trap the group. She created “Sir William Ormerod”, along with an online encyclopaedia entry and placed a death notice. A week later, she placed another notice in The Times “in the guise of his grieving boyfriend Peter” for his memorial service “followed by a drinks reception”. She reported that the group duly claimed to have known Ormerod and applied for tickets.
Victoria and Giles Coren wrote an introduction to Chocolate and Cuckoo Clocks, an anthology of the best comic writing by their father Alan, published by Canongate in October 2008.
Her poker memoir For Richer, For Poorer: A Love Affair with Poker (the subtitle changed to Confessions of a Player when released in paperback in 2011) was published in September 2009, and was well reviewed in The Times and The Observer.
She has said that she regularly stays up until 6 am, “Smoking and drinking and gambling. But I like cooking and gardening too, which makes me sound like a very strange mix of an old lady and teenage boy.” When asked about this in 2012, she stated: “It is still true. I’ll grow up one day, but not quite yet.”
On 20 March 2012, Coren announced her engagement to actor and comedian David Mitchell. According to Mitchell, they first met at a film premiere in 2007, but only began dating three years later. The couple married in November 2012, in north London, and their daughter was born in May 2015.
She has been a member of Team PokerStars Pro, but in November 2014 she removed her endorsement a few hours after PokerStars had announced they were starting an online casino. She said she was uncomfortable about potential addiction by vulnerable people to a site where the odds are in favour of the operator, and did not want to be associated with such an operation.
Coren Mitchell was inducted into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame in 2016.
