Liz's Poker Life

Nicknamed the Poker Diva, Liz Lieu embraced the moniker because of her affinity for Roberto Cavalli clothes and Chanel purses, as well as because of her poker prowess. She is a high stakes cash game specialist who began tournament play in 2005. That year, she placed fifth in a $1,500 World Series of Poker no-limit hold’em event, earning more than $168,000. She went on to place 12th in the $5,000 NLHE event and cash in the $3,000 tournament the same year. She also placed fourth in a major Bellagio tournament.

Her first tournament victory came at the 2006 L.A. Poker Classic at Commerce Casino, where she won the $1,000 limit hold’em event. One year later, she won the $1,000 NLHE event, also at the LAPC, for more than $150,000. Liz’s bankroll has been boosted by major finishes at the Foxwoods World Poker Finals, Bellagio Festa al Lago and Five Diamond World Poker Classic, and Gold Strike World Poker Open. She earned more than $850,000 in less than six years of tournament play and ranks as the 22nd all-time female money earner in poker history, though Liz is considered by her peers to be one of the best high stakes cash game players in the world.

Liz’s interests have grown to expand far beyond poker. In 2005, she began working with local and global nonprofit organizations and started donating 20 percent of her tournament earnings to charity. She has contributed to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Women In Need, and various communities and organizations across Vietnam, where she distributes money, clothing and other goods to care for the elderly, blind persons, newborns, and disabled children. Liz also contributes to a children’s cancer hospital in her native country to grant the wishes of terminally ill children, and she delivers food and supplies to remote poor villages.

In 2011, Liz won the Maven Awards’ Humanitarian Award, given to one woman in the poker industry whose charity work and philanthropic spirit are an inspiration to others.

    "Those who seen Liz will call her 'The Poker Diva', but those who know Liz will call her 'The Poker Angel'.
    Those who face her in the poker table will say she is aggressive, but those who face her outside the table will say she is generous.
    Don't judge her by her petite size, for her heart is as big as the ocean.
    Don't judge her by her beauty, for her beauty is much more within.
    Hope to see you soon again my friend, Singapore will always welcome you with open hands."

    "There is a Liz Lieu who is not "The Poker Diva." There is a Liz Lieu who's a quiet homegirl, content to bask in the interaction of family and friends. There is a smiling Liz Lieu who will lug 22-pound bags of rice from a water buffalo-drawn cart into a destitute old woman's kitchen to make sure she has enough to eat. There is a Liz Lieu who's not afraid to take on the lifelong job of caring for a child whose father has died and whose prospects seem grim. There is a Liz Lieu who passes on a double tithe as life blesses her to those whom fortune has passed by. There is a Liz Lieu who admits to her own fears, doubts and failings, but is always there with a word or gesture of comfort when others face theirs. There is a Liz Lieu who revels in the joys, works and accomplishments of others, quick to congratulate and praise. There is a Liz Lieu who extends her hand in friendship with caution, but once extended stands by her bond with the surety of a rock. There is a Liz Lieu who IS my friend, and I wouldn't trade her for any other."

    "Liz!.
    You are by far the stronger and most sincere girl I've ever met. And I'm not saying it because your my best friend either. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without you! You have treated me and been there for me more then my own family. Even though I don't say much about anything to anyone, but I will never forget all the things you have done for me and have sacrificed for our friendship. That is what I love about you buddy. You have a heart of gold and you are always willing to help everyone even if it's to your disadvantages. You so easy to communicate with and you understand exactly what I am going through, even though I may not say a word. I really admire how strong and confident you are. You are so open with everyone and it’s very genuine. Many people notice your outside beauty but what really makes you my best friend is the inside beauty you posses. Thanks buddy for being there for me whenever I’ve needed a friend to count on. Oh and Phu was right! The best word to describe you is "Loyalty"."

    "Liz Lieu...aka the poker diva. That doesn't cover it. More like Liz Lieu aka one of the most amazing people alive. I'm not quite sure its possible for anyone to have a heart as big as this beautiful lady! I've just got to know Liz over the passed few months and she has made me realize really quick how you should treat others and how you should always help the less fortunate. One day real soon Lizzy you are going to make a special guy very very happy and you will deserve to be treated like the princess that you are.

    I volunteer to be that guy. ha ha. Luv you and your big heart girl!"

    "Liz...
    The one word that comes to mind when I think about you is "Loyalty". People who do not know you judge you by your looks and automatically stereotype you....I have gotten to know you better and you are one of those special people that is not only beautiful on the outside but you are even more beautiful on the inside. For those who you truly consider as your friends, you are truly loyal giving everything.....Your smile lightens up any day, any place, any room...Thank you for letting me share your life journey with you through your wonderful pictures. I am blessed to have you consider me as one of your friends..."

    "Liz just in case you've forgotten how special you are, let me remind you...

    I can not even put into words how much I cherish you and our friendship. You have done so much for me and sometimes I feel like I have done very little in comparison. I know you would never see it that way because that is just how you are--you don't keep score of your kindness because your kindness is genuine. When you care about someone, you take on their problems so they don't have to go through it alone. You are so loyal and protective of the people you hold close to you. I feel so lucky and honored that I am one of those people. You have a heart of gold and I know one day, all of your good deeds will come back to you in tenfolds. You deserve nothing but the best because you are the best. Thank you for everything--the long talks, the sympathetic shoulder, the encouragement and support, the shared tears, and the wonderful times. You are truly "priceless"--you are not only my friend...you are my sister. I love you."
