Ping Liu has just taken his seat on Day 1c in the Amazon Tan section.
Liu opened the 2019 World Series of Poker with a fifth-place finish in the Event #2: $ 10,000 No Limit Hold'em - Super Turbo Bounty for $71,614. Since then, Liu has added an additional four WSOP cashes and seen his lifetime winnings climb to nearly $1.7 million.
For Liu, his last 18 months on the felt have seen him cement himself as one of the stronger players on the circuit. On the recent Season XVII of the World Poker Tour, Liu fell just short of claiming WPT Player of the Year honors after lodging seven cashes and two final tables.
Although known as a cash game grinder in the Los Angeles area, Liu's switch to the tournament circuit has not only been profitable, but also has seen him gain notoriety in the industry as he was nominated for Breakout Player of the Year at the recent Global Poker Awards. Unfortunately for Liu, Ali Imsirovic would claim the trophy, but it would seem that for Californian player Liu, other trophies await in the near future.
