Michael Phelps: Greatest Athlete of Our Time?

I had the opportunity to chill with Michael Phelps a few times while out here at Borgata. He was out here playing a few tourneys and chilling with his friends. He’s a really cool dude, we partied at a club on Saturday night, and then a bunch of guys played online in his suite all [...]

Goodbye Mississippi, Hello Atlantic City

I’m sitting here in the Atlanta airport with my buddy Phildo, waiting to get on our flight to Philadelphia, where we then have to get a cab to Atlantic City. We left Biloxi, Mississippi a few hours ago. We were both hoping we were going to be staying in Biloxi an extra day, as our [...]

My 8th Live Win!

My last blogpost, I mentioned how I wasn’t going to take my flight that morning to Biloxi because I wasn’t feeling good and didn’t want to fly sick. I ended up finally leaving the walk in clinic that Sunday night around 2 am, prescriptions in hand, and made the decision to stay up and leave [...]

Something Has to Change

I can’t keep living like this. I’m sitting here on the side of the road 2 miles away from my place in Florida because I just got a flat tire. I was on my way to a 24 hour walk-in clinic because I have been sick for the last week and haven’t been getting any [...]

Busy at the PCA

I arrived in the Bahamas a few days ago and I’ve pretty much been busy the entire time. I have played two events so far- the main event, which I busted in the last level of day 1, and the 1k 6-max, which I busted late in day 1 as well. Because the PCA is [...]

Coolered in Today’s $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em

Just a quick update on the $1,500 donkament I played this afternoon. Just like all these events people are going to stack off with a ton of hands. Unfortunately for me my opponent today “stacked off” with the stone nuts. I lost a big pot early in the day, folding a baby flush on a [...]

Liz Lieu’s LAPC Main Event!

Several weeks have passed since the Asian Poker Tour Main Event in Manila, and after taking a short break from poker, I was refreshed and eager to get back on the felt. The LAPC at the Commerce Casino is a special event for me because it’s where I started my high-stakes poker career. It attracts [...]

New Year’s Advice

I’m writing this from Vietnam, and I hope everyone has had a great holiday and New Year’s. I know most people make New Year’s resolutions. I try not to make promises to myself that I can’t keep, so I don’t. One of the most common questions I’m asked is what advice would I give to [...]

WPT Five Diamond Part 2

Editor’s note: When we left off last time Liz had lost a chunk of her stack when an opponent got lucky and turned a set. Today she’ll take us through the rest of her tournament at the WPT Five Diamond main event. But what a great way to end the night! Chino and others were [...]

WPT Five Diamond Part 1

I busted out just short of the money in what I think was the toughest field of 2008, the Five Diamond World Poker Classic. You might not believe it, but it was a terrific few days for me. My confidence is sky-high for next year. I’ve avoided the tables most of the last few weeks [...]
