|
Liz Lieu is the latest successful and noticeable poker player to join the poker team at MartinsPoker.com.
She joins Martin de Knijff, Patrik Antonius, Alex Stevic, Tobias Persson, Cecilia Nordenstam, Peter Eichhardt, Henric Olander, and Ingemar Backman.
Lieu is happy to become part of the team.
"The idea of participating in a team really appeals to me. When I met Martin and the other members of the team, I immediately noticed that this was a crowd that I wanted to be a part of," she says. "It is going to be very exciting to represent Team Martin's Poker from now on. It will be so much more fun to go to different tournaments knowing that there is a team backing you when you do well, and if you get knocked out, there are other players to cheer for."
Lieu has been playing poker since she was 18 years old, but didn't enter tournament play until 2005, taking fifth in the first World Series of Poker event she played in. Tournament players didn't know who they were running into. Lieu is one of the top cash players in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, consistently beating the $400-$800 games in those towns.
In 2005, she finished in the money on the tournament trail eight times, and she just recently appeared on the cover of Card Player Magazine.
