Liv “Olivia” Boeree – The Iron maiden of Poker
Liv “Olivia” Boeree is one of the most successful and might we add beautiful female poker players of all time and is a European poker tour champion to boot. Nicknamed “The Iron Maiden” and with her cute accent, great body, beautiful face and a superb poker record. We reckon she is one of the coolest lady poker players with the great given nickname of The Iron Maiden, in poker today.
Originally Born in Kent, United Kingdom in 1984, Liv Boeree studied astrophysics at The University of Manchester before eventually moving to London to find fame as a model and TV presenter on a range of different shows. There, she was introduced to poker after being selected to appear on a T.V. show called Ultimatepoker.com Showdown. Throughout the show she received coaching from poker pros Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke and, from then on, she was completely hooked.

Later that year, she went on to pick up the first of her two World Series of Poker wins, making the money in $1K and $1.5K No Limit Hold’em poker events. Following her run of success, Liv was signed up to be a sponsored professional. In 2010, Liv won the €5,000 European Poker Tour San Remo Main Event for $1.7 million. In addition to the massive first place prize, Liv became the third woman to ever win an EPT championship. The final table included players like Sweden’s Jakob Carlsson, who lost the heads-up battle, and Toni Pettersson, who finished third.
Liv has recently posted, “It is a well- known fact that some poker players travel almost non-stop on the poker circuit, jetting off to exotic locations and visiting some of the many wonders of the world in the process. I count myself very fortunate to be able to join that group and live that lifestyle, and it’s something I regularly pinch myself as a reminder to be grateful for.” http://livboeree.com/liv-boeree/blog
