Team PokerStars Pro has snatched up another poker talent in the form of Liv Boeree. She is a beautiful form indeed. In addition to beauty, the newest member of Team PokerStars possesses the intelligence needed to thrive in the poker world.

Before becoming a poker player, Boeree attended the University of Manchester. She received top marks and went on to earn a physics degree in 2005. Next, she worked in a marketing firm for 18 months, but that became dull. Once she quit, her poker career began to blast off.

It all started when she was cast on a reality TV show that pitted her against fellow contests in heads-up poker matches. Boeree had a bit of help though. Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke, and Dave “Devilfish” Ulliot were in her corner, coaching her along the way. After her first win she became infatuated with the game of poker.

After stints as a presenter and journalist, Boeree began her foray into tournament poker. In 2007, she won a $19,000 package to the Five Diamond Classic. Boeree struck again in 2008, taking down the Ladbrokes European Ladies Championship. Her two cashes in the 2008 WSOP proved she could hang with the big boys. In April 2010 she won EPT San Remo, taking home €1,250,000. The demand for Boeree was insatiable.

Boeree is an up and coming tournament force. The 26 year-old has a long career ahead of her to trump Jennifer Harman’s two WSOP Bracelets or Annie Duke’s 38 cashes at the WSOP.
