Just to those unaware, she had to pay $25,000 just to enter the tournament, so it’s not a “rags to riches” story, it’s a “riches to slightly more riches” story. Not hating, I’m a big fan and she did amazing, just providing some context to those who don’t know how poker tournaments work.
Not to take anything away from her win, shes been a grinder for a long time. That being said, she only had percentage of that win, most likely less than 50%. If i was guessing it would be 25%. Her buy in of 25k was staked. Meaning another person/or other people invested into her equity. Its a normal practice - the majority of the pros you see on tv in big tournaments are staked. No one at her level would pay the entire 25k buy in, its not economically feasible as a poker player. Congrats liz, you deserved this win.
@@milanbaros-gi4pm incorrect, she had 100% of her own action, she even told you the amount she was donating, that is 20%. Her buy in may have been paid, maybe not, either way she keeps all the winnings.
Nicest person in poker. Had the pleasure of playing day 2 of the WSOP main event several yrs ago with her at the table and she was always nice and accommodating to everyone at all times. She ended up the last woman playing in that field although I don't remember where she finished. Truly a nice person, wish her well.
Liv knocked me out of the final round of a 6 leg pokerstars WSOP main event package sng satellite years ago when she was a paid pro on the site, and I’m still massively salty about it 😂
My best moment watching Liv was maybe about 10-15 years ago and she got really drunk at the table. She was an absolute laugh and such a funny person. After the break her boyfriend had to fill in. It can be found on TH-cam. Great woman just a character. I wish her well
terrible argument. wsop is a private company, not the govt. The idea of "free speech" doesn't apply. By entering bonomo agreed to not wear any politically controversial clothing at the final table, which was to be broadcast. WSOP rules, if he doesn't like them then he shouldn't play.
@philcooley55 Firstly, the idea that WSOP want to keep politics out of poker is total BS... Considering WSOP Paradise were literally raising money for IDF family members! Secondly, yes, private companies have the right to curtail free speech. But others have the right to criticise them for their rank hypocrisy and support for one side - the side massacring children en masse. Thirdly, there's zero writing on the keffiyeh - it's a piece of clothing associated with an ethnic group. Would they ban a kilt worn by a supporter of the SNP? Of course not - they've chosen to view the keffiyeh solely as a political symbol that needs to be repressed because of the wider repression of free speech in society on this issue.
@@philcooley55 Firstly, WSOP have been super political, even recently - they literally raised money for IDF family members! Secondly, if you're going to resort to the lame argument that private organisations can enforce policies as they please, then there's whole heaps of organisations that can escape criticism in the same way, like Google or Facebook. Private organisations can make the choices they wish... and face shame and criticism for their unbalanced, disgusting choices. Thirdly, there's zero writing on the item - it's just a piece of clothing associated with an ethnic group. Would they ban a kilt worn by an SNP supporter? Of course not - they've chosen to uniquely clamp down on this because of a wider repression of pro Palestinian freedom of speech in society.
“Life changing” perhaps for her credibility as a female professional poker player. She did wonderfully and a 4th place finish at a top tournament is a huge accomplishment. “Life changing” in terms of 2.2M? Hardly. All the pro’s sell pieces of themselves. She probably owned only 20% or so of herself, thus pocketing only a piece of the winnings for herself.
If that's the case then why did she say that she's donating over $500k to an animal welfare charity? That would be the entirety of her win if she only had 20% of the action.
all she said was you were bluffing with the best pair. she was more upset at herself for not thinking that he could be bluffing with better. she definitely did not berate that man.
Yeah she’s such a clown she’s just won more money than you or I will ever make. I’m sure your negative comments about her on TH-cam will take all the good out of it for her.
@ichmagheringway89 Doesn't mean she is profitable...you know Daniel Negreanu is barely profitable some years even when he wins massive multi million dollar tournaments at WSOP etc. You have no clue if she is profitable...without being staked and sponsored
@ichmagheringway89 The money making is in the platform and the organisers, the pros only make consistent income from the platforms backing them...their job is to make you think you can make money without their help and get more players in the door, hence you're the mark and fell for it hook line and sinker 🎣...😂
Liv is great for the game and a very nice person, but to say this is life changing, when she has been dating a very wealthy Russian philanthropist for the past 10 years, is disingenuous. Still, it's good for all their charities and hopefully will change the lives of many mistreated animals.
Just goes to show that poker is short term luck. No matter how good the player is anyone with a reasonable game could be in her position. She was already loaded and had nothing to lose. Clearly the money doesnt mean that much. It's abit of a scam. You can play brilliantly and be beaten by bad players. Also so disgraceful that the event in Bahamas had a charity for the IDF! Oh dear sky news didnt mention that
Please explain why the same players are always winning more than the others over the years ??? Yes there is a lot of luck in poker thats a given.. but if you think its pure luck then i suggest you learn the rules and go play against a pro.... ???
@@12jarvo you're not quite comprehending what we're writing here. i know liv's background. she's a great player. that's not what we talked about though.
My favourite poker player! What a woman, she’s far too talented. I literally cried when she won her WPT. I’d love to collaborate with her to inspire other women around the world 🌍.🫠😇🥲

She's been a beast for years...well done tho.
Can't remember her partner's name he's a pro too... Wouldn't wanna home game with them 😂😂😂
His name is Igor Kurganov, they actually won a W.S.O.P. bracelet together in a tag team event

Filters are absolutely wild on her camera

Justin Bonomo being banned for a simple piece of clothing - how about reporting on the end of free speech in all its forms?

Not in that comp

She’s been a goat for years……
Ask her how
Much of her action is sold? 😂
In that comp no one with a Brain would had sold probably the best value comp of the years easily
The best part is her donating 560k to the animals.
Good job.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wheres the volume on this video?
Great exposure for the game
Dont gamble kids
Or rather....Study before you play kids. Learn bankroll management and have fun within your means.
It's only gambling if you don't know what you're doing
@@SL0409no it’s not lol stop kidding yourself
who's gambling kids?? i prefer gambling with money. might just be personal preference though. on another note: poker ≠ gambling.
Poker is not gambling...
She could afford to pay 25 thousand entrance fee....why is she makei g a fuss about 2.8million....if the entry was 500 pounds fair enough
She most likely didn't pay even half of that
She probably had sponsership that covered some of the buy in
She snagged half of the poker community in her past.
When the pool is big enough the sharks come out.
Well done Liv 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I have made a lot of money playing live poker tournaments but this is massive for 4th place
If I had 2 billion dollars I would buy 2 million dollars worth of ice cream and eat ice cream every day for the next 2 billion years
Gambling is NOT a sport sky SPORTS news!!!!
Is chess sports in your opinion? Poker is sports with luck involved…
Poker is not gambling...
It is a sport it’s actually been recently classified as a mind sport.
In the long run the best player will beat an unskilled player every time
Poker is a "sport," you 🫏. Probably shouldn't talk when you're clueless. Why do you think it's covered on ESPN? 🙄🤡
Court system has ruled Poker is a skill game.
Liv Boeree v Victoria Coren Mitchell
Yes, let's not mention how she called off with 4th pair and essentially berated Marcelo Aziz, Phil Hellmuth style because she got outplayed. 🤣😆🤡🤡🤡
all she said was you were bluffing with the best pair. she was more upset at herself for not thinking that he could be bluffing with better. she definitely did not berate that man.
Yeah she’s such a clown she’s just won more money than you or I will ever make. I’m sure your negative comments about her on TH-cam will take all the good out of it for her.
Its not lifechanging money if u can affort 25k buy ins...Still probably he didnt pay entry fee and was freeroll for her.
Massive respect 💯❤️👍💪
Incredible 🎉❤
How can u resist such poker ♥️ face⁉️
A lot of these poker players sell shares to people 🤔 so she could be shelling out some of her winnings 😩
Anyone who has the personality to steal 6.5k on tipping point does not deserve 2.8 million
The point of the game was to steal
golden balls
Still mad about that huh?
Context please?
Trust me is the exact opposite of what you’re saying 😂
She has to give 80% of it to her backers
This is pure nonsense she is sponsored, has probably spent £10 million in buy ins just this year 😂 She may be a break even tournament player who knows
"who knows" everyone knows. she's been around the scene for almost a decade a couple years back. this was her first tournament this year.
@ichmagheringway89 Doesn't mean she is profitable...you know Daniel Negreanu is barely profitable some years even when he wins massive multi million dollar tournaments at WSOP etc. You have no clue if she is profitable...without being staked and sponsored

For most big time pros that’s true but her it’s not this is a solid win for her
@Wppsamsung2024 there is a lot of truth to what you said but also not all. there is a bunch of people making money without being sponsored/backed.
how much did she have of herself
Smash

She was a real hottie back in the day
How is this on sky sports news 😂
