LuckyChewy Wins Aria $25k High Roller, and a Change of Direction for Maria Ho

Andrew ‘Luckychewy’ Lichtenberger wins the second $25,000 High Roller of the summer at The Aria, and Maria Ho leaves the Heartland Poker Tour for a fresh project called Poker Night: The Tour.

Andrew ‘Luckychewy’ Lichtenberger likes Las Vegas. It’s where he lays his hat, but more importantly, it’s where he makes most of his money.

Lichtenberger has taken down the second Aria $25,000 High Roller of the summer, after beating Erik Seidel in heads-up action, pocketing $398,160 in the process.

It’s the fourth big Vegas win for Lichtenberger in the past 12-months. It started with a third place finish in a $5,000 buy-in Six Handed No Limit Hold’em (NLHE) event at the 2014 WSOP for $242,827, it got even better after he finished second in the $50,000 NLHE Aria High Roller in Nov for $422,968, and went supernova after picking up $1,770,692 for winning the World Poker Tour (WPT) Alpha8 at The Bellagio, in Dec.
