LIV BOEREE JOINS TEAM POKERSTARS PRO

September 30, 2010

One of poker’s hottest young talents, Liv Boeree, has joined the world’s biggest online poker
site as a member of Team PokerStars Pro. The 26-year-old, who won the EPT San Remo
Main Event for €1,250,000 in April, joins the likes of Daniel Negreanu, 2009 World Champion
Joe Cada and Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier, as part of PokerStars’ elite team.
Boeree was unveiled as PokerStars’ latest Team Pro at the launch of the EPT London
Festival of Poker on Tuesday, September 28. She was introduced to the media by
PokerStars ambassador Daniel Negreanu, who said: “Liv is the whole package. She has a
great résumé after winning EPT San Remo, is likeable, well spoken, attractive and hardworking.
There is no question she was the top free agent and I’m ecstatic that she is now
part of the team.”
When asked what the deal means to her, Liv Boeree said: “It’s what I’ve been working
towards for the last five years. When I decided I wanted to become a pro poker player I
wanted to become as well-known and successful as I could be. One of my goals was to
become a member of Team PokerStars Pro – and now I’ve done it. I’m so honoured to be
invited onto such an exclusive team.”
Boeree has barely been out of the headlines in the past year. After her win at EPT San
Remo, she attracted a lot of attention from the media, appearing on GMTV, the BBC news
and ESPN, as well as being featured in magazines and newspapers such as Loaded,
Maxim, the Sun, the Daily Mail and Card Player.
That win in Italy catapulted Boeree into the spotlight, but she has been gradually building her
profile in the past two years with a string of cashes in big tournaments. Boeree registered
her first major cash by winning the European Ladies Championship in 2008 for $42,000.
Since then she has racked up nearly $2m in live tournaments, including eight cashes at the
World Series of Poker.
PokerStars Regional Director, UK & Ireland, Emma Crowe said: “We are delighted to
welcome Liv Boeree to Team PokerStars Pro. Liv has proved to be one of the most
successful players in the world over the past 12 months with her stunning win at EPT San
Remo. She will be a major presence on both the EPT and UKIPT tours over the next 12
months.”
