Liz Lieu will play Erik Sagstrom in a series of limit hold ‘em matches at the new Venetian Poker Room this weekend.

Lieu, a team member at Martin’s Poker, is one of the most aggressive and successful players in the West coast $400/$800 cash games scene; Sagstrom, known online as “Erik 123″ or “The Salmon”, is the Swedish phenom whom many consider to be the best online player in the world.

On May 5,6,7, 2006 in the new Venetian Poker Room, Lieu (right) and Sagstrom will go Head to Head in a $600,000 freeze out- a series of three $200,000 heads up matches, three nights in a row that is titled Beauty vs. the Beast. Spectators and media are encouraged to come watch this heads up version of “boy versus girl” in the ultimate Limit Hold’em poker competition.
