Liv Boeree Wins Major European Poker Tournament

“I’m utterly over the moon about winning the European Ladies Championships,” stated Liv Boeree. “It was a fantastic tournament with a great sense of camaraderie and a really tough final table that I enjoyed playing from start to finish. This is also a great boost to my confidence going into the World Series of Poker* which is drawing ever closer.”

The land-based poker tournament, held on May 3rd and 4th in London, featured some of the best female poker players on the continent including Annette Obrestad, the winner of the WSOPE Main Event. Liv Boeree placed first in the tournament, securing a commemorative trophy and $30,000 in cash.

Boeree began her poker career on the television series UltimatePoker.com Showdown in August 2005. There, she learned some valuable tips from Annie Duke, one of the poker world’s best female players, and caught the attention of popular online poker site Absolute Poker.

In a little over two years, Liv has amassed several top-10 finishes in Texas Hold’em tournaments across London including multiple first place wins.
