Seat 3: Ping Liu, Grand Blanc, MI, USA �C 3,095,000
Ping Liu��s first reported live tournament payout came in October 2011. Since then, he��s accrued more than $2.5 million in winnings. His biggest notch was a $599,147 payday for fourth place in the 2018 WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic. Liu has picked up a few other six-figure prizes over the years, including $156,100 for running deep in this year��s WSOP Main Event (58th place).
While he��s been to several big final tables, he has just three outright victories on his pedigree. The latest, however, came just last week: he took down a $5,000 PokerGO event for $89,600.
In the NAPT Main Event, his run was almost over shortly before the two-table redraw. He needed to spike one of two remaining aces in the deck with one card to come to double through Je Wook Oh. A ��Barry Greenstein river�� indeed saved him.
