Xuan Liu on Historic Triton Victory: 'I Felt Like I Was on Top of the World'
The year 2025 may go down as one of the best stretches in history for women in poker, and it started weeks before Shiina Okamoto won her second straight World Series of Poker (WSOP) Ladies Event or Leo Margets became the first woman in poker's modern era to make the final table of the Main Event.
Indeed, the landmark year for women in poker kicked off in May when longtime pro Xuan Liu made history by becoming the first woman to win a Triton Poker title. Months after taking down the WPT Global Slam at Triton Montenegro for a career-best $860,000, Liu is back on the Triton battlefield and seeking another title at the inaugural Triton ONE festival on South Korea's Jeju Island.
It was here that PokerNews caught up with Liu to talk about the historic victory, the role tournament poker plays in her life today and what the future holds for a grinder who is always looking to "reinvent myself."
