Liv learned to play poker in 2005 but turned professional
at the start of 2008. Since then Liv has had a numerous tournament
successes both live and online, including winning the European
Ladies Championships 2008 for $30,000, a $42,000 cash in the
2009 WPT Championships, three final tables in WPT Preliminary
events and for World Series of Poker cashes. As such she has
made over $225,000 in major tournament cashes to date. A full

She 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". During the filming of
the show she decided to try her hand at a real live poker
tournament, and ended up winning the first one she ever entered,
beating 124 other runners at the Gutshot club in London.
In early 2008 Liv undertook coaching with Annie Duke. Her
training certainly helped, as just two days after she won
a tournament at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, and two months
later won the European Ladies title.
In May 2009 Liv joined team Ultimatebet as one of their professional
players and will be representing them in tournaments around
the world. |
