Official Website of Liz Lieu

Liz's Poker Life

They call her the "Poker Diva" — a tongue-in-cheek moniker that stemmed from Lieu's fondness for Roberto Cavalli clothing and Chanel purses. Though Lieu's wardrobe rivals that of any Hollywood starlet, her priorities these days have more to do with supporting her family and making frequent trips to her native Vietnam where she does extensive charity work — visiting the elderly, granting the dying wishes of sick children, and delivering food to poor, remote villages that don't even have electricity-- not exactly activities one would do in their Jimmy Choos. All of Lieu's work in Vietnam is made possible by her successes at the poker tables, where she is a feared player perceived as one of the best cash game player in the world and a threat in any tournament she plays.

After gracing the covers of several magazines in 2006, including Deal and American Poker Player, Liz has added Maxim's Total Poker, Woman Poker Player, Midwest Gaming & Travel, Poker Player, World Poker Tour, Flush, Maximal, Poker Pro Europe, and Poker Pro France in 2007. Then Asian Poker Times, Gambling Online, Pokernews, and CardPlayer Bulgaria to her list of covers in 2008. She also received national exposure through several mainstream newspapers in Singapore during her participation in the BetFair Asian Poker Tour events. Her breakthrough to conventional media has made her a prominent personality and representative of poker throughout the world.

In the summer of 2007, Lieu packed up and moved across the pond, making her home in London, England so she could pursue business opportunities in Europe. She signed on as the face of ChiliPoker and began traveling the world representing the brand at major poker events.

Liz now has homes in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and she supports her mother residing in Los Angeles. When not playing poker, she enjoys shopping, dancing, and spending time with family and friends.

Respected by her peers, poker fans and the media, Liz is a proud ambassador of poker and looks forward to an extensive and positive future in the sports/gaming industry.

    "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..."

    "I always wanted to meet someone famous ever since i started watching Entourage on TV and this past week-end i got the opportunity to do so. I met Liz Lieu Famous Poker Diva and let me tell you!

I actually met John "Razor" Phan too also a pretty nice guy. Liz is a very accomplished and driven individual who i would definatley put on my list of people to look upto."

    "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."
