Many online poker sites boast a large number of members on their sponsored players list, but only UltimateBet can claim to have such a great percentage of female professionals on their team. Annie Duke, Liv Boeree and Tiffany Michelle have each made their marks in the game of poker and they’re all part of the reason that Team UB is one of the most respected and most deadly groups of professional poker players.
Annie Duke is, of course, the most famous woman in poker, and for good reason. She’s got a proven track record as a player, coach and commentator. She’s won the WSOP, she’s appeared on TV shows, including Celebrity Apprentice and 1 vs 100 as well as innumerable poker programs including UltimateBet’s own Best Damn Poker Show. When it’s all said and done, she’s not just a poker player. Annie’s someone who wants to use the money and fame they’ve gotten to help others. Her Ante Up For Africa foundation has helped thousands in tragedy-stricken Darfur and her other humanitarian efforts have improved the lives of people at home and abroad.
Liv Boeree is an up-and-coming UK player who’s made a name for herself in recent years and appears to be just warming off. The astrophysics student became a full-time poker player after appearing on the UltimatePoker.com Showdown and receiving personal coaching from the Poker Brat himself, Phil Hellmuth. Boeree has since blazed a trail across Europe and the states. It’s easy to mistake the model and metalhead’s enthusiasm as “perky,” but once you’ve lost a few hands to her effortless playing style, you’ll know it’s a ruse that she uses to bring her prey in closer.
She’s a singer/songwriter, actress, certified massage therapist and one of the best female poker players in the world: Tiffany Michelle. After making her name in multiple tournaments and huge events, Tiffany made her major breakthrough at the 2008 WSOP, where she was the last female player standing. She ended up in 17th place, securing $334,534 for her skills and breaking records for the largest field ever conquered by a woman in live poker tournament history which instantly skyrocketed her to Poker Celebrity status. She’s since appeared on The Amazing Race and has started her own clothing line. Who knows what’s next for Tiffany?
You can find yourself playing against these women on UltimateBet or in live events around the world, so take the time to sharpen your skills or you’ll end up being another victim of Team UB’s femme fatales!
