PokerStars continued its push to become the leading sponsor and poker site for female players by adding Liv Boeree to their roster of sponsored pros. Boeree recently parted ways with her long-time sponsor UB Poker, and most in the industry had her penciled in at either PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker.

PokerStars now boasts a lineup of female poker pros unparalleled in the poker world: Vanessa Rousso, Vanessa Selbst, Liv Boeree, Victoria Coren, Maridu Mayrinck, Veronica DaBul, Celina Lin, as well as three top female online poker pros, Roxy24, NicP, and marene.

Boeree is fresh off her biggest win to date in the European Poker Tour San Remo tournament, which added nearly $1.7 million to her career earnings. Here is a look at Boeree’s accomplishments in the poker world since she started playing competitive poker in 2007:

·    Nearly $2 million in career tournament earnings
·    1st place 2010 EPT San Remo Main Event
·    8 WSOP Cashes
·    Former instructor at DeepStacks University

PokerStars has also recently launched their PokerStars Women section of their website. PokerStars Women offers female poker players the chance to compete in exclusive tournaments, a number of promotions, information on the female poker pros on PokerStars, access to the poker school, and a number of media outlets from blogs to Twitter and Facebook.
