At the age of 13, Lieu discovered her passion for cards while playing Chinese poker with friends. She decided to pursue a professional poker career to assist her family after her father suffered a heart attack. It's quite clear how she earned the moniker 'Poker Diva'—her elegant, compact style coupled with a fierce and focused approach to the game has established her as a captivating yet formidable presence in the poker community.

Career highlights

With an impressive collection of accolades, including her triumph at the 2006 L.A. Poker Classic and another win at the 2007 No-Limit Hold'em Event 12, Lieu achieved her most significant financial success during the 2005 36th Annual WSOP, where she secured a remarkable 5th place with winnings of $168,590 at the final table.

"I've faced many challenges in my life, particularly within my family - these experiences have deepened my appreciation for life. Now that I have the means to assist others, I consider it a true blessing. I firmly believe in the idea that what you give will eventually come back to you.\" (Poker Lizard)
