Poker Team Set for Las Vegas

The online casino fan has been welcomed onboard as a fully fledged member of Team Martin Poker and reports that she's more than ready for her first challenge at any of the top land based or online casinos.

Liz Lieu´s appointment to Team Martin is widely seen as a sign of encouragement for other online poker fans. Lieu began playing poker professionally in 2005 and finished in fifth place in the World Series of Poker. From her early days on the Vegas and LA poker scenes at the tender age of 18, Lieu struggled to prove herself and began to use poker to improve her gaming strategy. With her appointment to Team Poker, Lieu joins a distinguished list of professional poker players and online poker fans including Alex Stevic, Martin de Knijff, Patrik Antonius and Ingemar Backman.

Lieu is one of the most successful female poker players and has become a prominent role model for others. Many websites have recognized the increasing number of women playing poker and have developed specific sites to encourage more women to join in; meaning Lieu could soon be just one of many female poker professionals.
