Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With over $6.7 million in total live earnings, Liv Boeree sits high on the England All Time Money List according to The Hendon Mob. While she reduced her volume in recent years to focus on science communication, she made a historic return to the felt in December 2024 at WSOP Paradise, finishing 4th in the Super Main Event for a massive $2,800,000 score – the largest single cash by a female player in poker history.
Prior to this record-breaking result, her career was defined by her victory at the 2010 EPT San Remo Main Event, where she won €1,250,000 ($1,698,300). She also holds a WSOP Bracelet from the 2017 $10k Tag Team Championship.
Biography & Poker Background
Originally from Kent, United Kingdom, Boeree holds a First Class Honours degree in Astrophysics from the University of Manchester. She entered the poker world via a reality TV show in 2005, where she was coached by Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke.
Transitioning from a background in heavy metal modeling and science (“The Iron Maiden”), she quickly became a global ambassador for the game. Although she retired from full-time professional play in 2019 to focus on her YouTube channel and work in game theory/existential risk, her recent high-roller appearances prove she remains a world-class competitor.
Play Style & Strategy
Besides Liv Boeree poker profile, she is known for a highly analytical, science-based approach to the game. Unlike “feel” players, she relies heavily on Game Theory Optimal (GTO) concepts and rational decision-making frameworks.
Her ability to apply scientific rigour to table dynamics makes her adaptable against both old-school pros and modern solvers. In her content, she frequently discusses “Moloch traps” and Nash equilibria, demonstrating how her poker strategy is deeply rooted in mathematics and complexity science.
