Liv Boeree Joins the Top 10 after EPT San Remo Win

Liv Boeree claimed her initial fame in the poker world when she won the European Ladies Championship. She has been playing on the tournament trail as consistently as anyone in the world recently and today all of her hard work paid off. Boeree defeated a huge field of 1,239 opponents to win the PokerStars European Poker Tour San Remo €5,000 no-limit hold’em main event. She was awarded €1,250,000 and she became the third female champion of an EPT event.

She earned 2,400 Card Player Player of the Year points for the win and that allowed her to make the leap into the top 10 in the standings. She is currently in ninth place overall with 2,438. The extra 38 points that put her just ahead of World Poker Tour L.A. Poker Classic champion Andras Koroknai came when Boeree cashed in ninth place at a preliminary event at the Southern Poker Championship in January.
