Liv Boeree Keynote Speaker

Originally from Kent in England, Liv Boeree is one of the most successful female poker players ever, with over $3.7 million in live tournament earnings.

Liv studied at the University of Manchester, earning a first-class degree in Astrophysics. Highly sought after as a speaker both in the UK and internationally, she is also a popular TV presenter and host. Her TED talk generated a lot of online buzz and has reached 2 million views and counting. In this acclaimed presentation, the British host and emcee shared three strategies she learned from poker and how to apply them in real-life situations.

Liv first showed interest in poker when she participated in a reality poker TV show back in 2005. Shortly after the show aired, she became a regular TV presenter and host of various poker shows. Not long after that, Liv made her first major live cash win when she took the European Ladies Championship in 2008 for $42,000.

Other highlights of her career as a professional poker player include an impressive run at the 2009 Five Star World Poker Classic in Las Vegas, where she final tabled two side tournaments and made a top 40 finish in the $25,000 WPT Championship Main Event.

It wasn't until she played at the European Poker Tour (EPT), one of the biggest tournaments ever, that the poker world really took notice of her skills. With a packed field of 1,240 players and after days of intense action, Liv found herself at the final table and went on to crush the remaining players to win the title and a massive $1,698,300 payday, confirming her status as one of the finest players the UK has ever produced.

A lover of physics, Liv is fascinated by the applications of scientific thinking to everyday life. Her goal is to understand how we can all make better decisions in this unpredictable world. As a science communicator, her speech topics include: 

• Probability
