A trio of stories from Camp 888 with the sad news that Xuan Liu will say bon voyage, the good news that I get to play in an 888Poker sponsored event in Dublin, and Sofia Lovgren describes her dream home game.

A triumvirate of 888Poker related stories begins with the news that the Canadian Xuan Liu has parted ways with her sponsor after only a year as part of the gang.

Very grateful to have been given the opportunity for a year but will no longer be an @888poker ambassador.

Liu joined 888Poker in April 2014, the same time that the Swedish pro Sofia Lovgren also make the switch from Team PKR. Sam Holden left space on the team after deciding to focus on a career in philosophy. In January, Liu finished runner-up to Sean O’Reilly in the A$1,040 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Max at the Aussie Millions for a score of $58,734. It was her biggest score since joining the team. Liu is the third big name departure after Shane Warne and JC Tran also departed ways in the past six months. There has been a strong outpouring of support on Twitter with Jackie Glazier, Kara Scott and Gillian Epp all paying tribute to her ambassadorial role.

Sofia Lovgren and Her Dream Home Game

They may have joined at the same time, but for the time being at least, it doesn’t look as if they are both leaving at the same time.
