Liv was introduced to the game of poker in 2005 when she was
selected to be one of five 'Poker Virgins' on Channel 5's
"Ultimate Poker Showdown". She was given the nickname "The
Professor" due to her recent graduation in Physics with Astrophysics,
and became one of the show's most entertaining and memorable
characters.
During the filming of the show she decided to try her hand
at a real poker tournament, and ended up winning the first
one she ever entered, beating 124 other runners at the Gutshot
club in London. Since then Liv has has had a numerous tournament
successes both live and online, including winning a $19,000
WPT package to Last Vegas in December 2007.
Since signing with Absolute Poker, Liv has undertaken coaching
with Annie Duke, who claims that she will transform Liv into
the best female player in the UK! Annie's coaching seems to
be working already, as after just two days of training Liv
won a tournament at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, and is having
regular successes in her weekly bounty tournaments at Absolute
Poker.
