Olivia "Liv" Boeree is a bona-fide poker celebrity. Not simply a poker pro, Liv has presented numerous poker TV shows and plenty of live poker events coverage.

Following the show, Boeree was determined to play poker seriously, and after presenting and hosting for various poker events and shows, she went on to win the 2008 Ladbroke's Ladies Championships.
