In Lieu of Consistency

Eric Liu has seen his stack go up and down like a frog on a bouncy castle during these early stages. On a board of {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, Liu bet 550, Mark Dalimore called and both players saw a {7-Clubs} river. Liu checked, Dalimore bet 1,150 and Liu called with {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Dalimore could only muster {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

A few hands later, Liu's chips went slightly wayward, a 12,000 pot between him and Anthony Ho leading to a bet from Ho of 10,000 on the river of a {2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} board. Liu made the fold, to leave himself with 18,500.

Meanwhile, gsqwared and I debated the spelling of Liu's surname. "I thought there was an 'e' in there," I said. "No, pretty sure it's just L I U," replied gsqwared. "It's L I U," claimed Eric Liu himself. "Are you sure?" I inquired.

We're still undecided here at PokerNews, but have decided to go with L I U for the remainder of the day.
