Former PokerStars Team Online, and Russian Twitch star, Liliya “liay5” Novikova, has died at her home in Moscow in a tragic accident.

This morning while walking in the rain, complaining about the rain, I listened intently as the psychologist, Adam Grant, and ‘Making Sense’ podcast creator, Sam Harris, talked about the theory of ‘counterfactual thinking’.

Harris talked about an incident where he nearly ran over a homeless man in his car, stating that had the man died, how he would trade all of his problems to go back in time before he hit him. In response, Grant said that counter-factual thinking was the gateway to gratitude, and this is what dominates my mind, this morning, as I read that Liliya Novikova is dead.

Novikova is a former member of PokerStars Team Online who achieved fame streaming poker and video games under the pseudonym “liay5,” and according to the BBC News website, a representative from Russia’s Investigative Committee (SK), told the Russian news site TASS –  “During the initial examination, traces of an electrical injury were found on the victim’s body.”
