Liv Boeree is New Ladbrokes European Ladies Champ

The $2,000 buy-in LadbrokesPoker.com European Ladies Championship has been won by Liv Boeree. The Absolute Poker-sponsored pro won $30,000 and a seat into the main event of the World Series of Poker main event by topping the field of 52 runners, which included Annette Obrestad, Beverly Pace, Katherine Hartree, and Shelley Rubenstein.

An excited Boeree, who defeated Danish player Lena Martyak heads up, said after her victory, “I'm over the moon with my win. We've all been treated really well by Ladbrokes Poker, and the final table was fantastic. Coincidentally, I was recently in a debate about female-only tournaments, and although I did say I thought they were unnecessary, this tourney has exceeded my expectations. The standard of play, the sense of camaraderie, and community over the last couple of days has made this an event to remember!”

Ladbrokes poker events manager, Lucy Sergides, said about the event, “The ELC is now firmly established as one of the most prestigious women-only tournaments in Europe, and we couldn't have wished for a better field. At the last count, there were three top-sponsored players from rival sites in the field, and they all agree that the standard of play was excellent. It only goes to show that there is space on the poker circuit for well-run women-only tournaments such as The Ladbrokes Poker ELC.”

The results of the tournament were:

1. Liv Boeree -- $30,000
2. Lena Martyak -- $20,000
3. Shelley Rubenstein -- $16,000
4. Lise Moller -- $12,000
