Xuan Liu's Canadian Adventure

Poker players have a multitude of different methods to get themselves into the right headspace before a big tournament festival. Maybe there’s a specific meal, a movie they like to watch or finding just the right lineup of songs for an at-the-table playlist.

It’s safe to say no one spent the lead-up to the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas like Xuan Liu. Over the course of November, Liu went on a cross-country adventure with a purpose, traversing through 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada with one goal in mind – taking a $2,000 poker bankroll, paying all expenses including travel and food, and making it to the end of the trip with at least $1 to spare.
