An avid comic book enthusiast, Liu looks up to Rorschach from 'Watchmen' as her favorite superhero. After finishing 4th in the 2012 PCA Main Event, she received a motivational message from Vanessa Selbst, who humorously pointed out how many hamburgers Liu could enjoy with her prize money. Liu also features in the poker reality show 'Girl Got Game' alongside fellow poker players Sofia Lövgren and Kitty Kuo.
