 European Poker
Tournament Won by
Absolute Poker's Liv
Boeree
Absolute Poker’s UK
Ambassador takes
first place in
Ladbrokes European
Ladies Championship
If you’ve ever
dreamed of playing
Texas Hold’em
against one of
Europe’s best female
poker players, look
no further than
Absolute Poker. Liv
Boeree, the online
poker site’s UK
ambassador, finished
first among a field
of 53 players in the
Ladbrokes European
Ladies Championship
last weekend.
"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.
In February 2008,
Absolute Poker
signed Liv Boeree, a
former astrophysics
student and aspiring
23-year-old pro
poker player, to
represent the online
poker site in the UK
marketplace.
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.
Most recently, Liv
reconnected with
Annie and gained
additional insight
and playing tips
from the world poker
champion – an
experience that no
doubt helped her
conquer the
Ladbrokes European
Ladies Championship.
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.
Liv Boeree is
featured in Absolute
Poker’s UK marketing
communications
pieces and can be
found playing in
tournaments across
Europe as well as
online at
AbsolutePoker.com.
