Liz, as she’s known to those close to her, is a unique blend of energy and charm. Standing at a petite 5’2, she exudes a larger-than-life persona; her unmistakable southern drawl can be heard from across the room, always accompanied by a witty saying that never fails to bring a smile to your face.

Elizabeth’s victory in a fashion contest came as a shock to her friends. According to them, this woman owns socks from the 90s and often seeks her friends’ advice on shopping. Her outfit of choice can only be described as a Unicorn’s artistic interpretation of a business suit, complete with earrings that could double as hula hoops and white open-toe heels.

HOW IT STARTED

ACR Pro-Team Ebony Kenney and Katie Lindsey posted a contest to win a seat in the WSOP Ladies Event from her X account on June 26th, two days before. The rules were simple: they would select a lady from the line and award her $1000 if they liked her fashion choice. The contest was on brand with the ACR Pro-Ladies, whose gameplay is as thrilling as their fashion choices.

Ebony and Lindsey arrived as advertised with money in hand 20 minutes before the event scheduled to start at noon. Ebony looked stunning in a white lace off-the-shoulder Renaissance dress with a floral bodice and white studded boots. Lindsey was equally stylish in her pink-on-pink outfit, consisting of a butterfly sweater, floral shoes, and a matching pink purse. They arrived with their entourage and camera crew and were overheard discussing the difficulty of choosing a winner since many women had brought their fashion “A” game.

When they asked Liz why she chose this outfit, she said it was what she wore to her son’s wedding, and she explained that the hoop earrings were her friend’s idea to channel her inner Ebony. The next thing that happened was right out of a movie; Kenny got on one knee and asked Mrs.Huey to play for them. Liz replied anything for you.

Liz is a strong advocate for women. She sits on the Women’s Poker Association board and is the lead instructor for Poker Power. She has been part of a team that has taught over 40,000 women to play poker and has spent most of the last two years frequently traveling to teach women.

Despite being an outstanding teacher, she is always eager to learn and improve her skills. Over the past year, she shifted from playing mainly online to in-person. She has broadened her range of games by trying out mixed games and can frequently seen grinding cash games in and around Vegas.

When questioned about the significance of the tournament, she was visibly moved. Her response was filled with admiration for the exceptional level of talent among the women in the field – “This is the best in the world, and I have the opportunity to compete alongside them.” She expressed profound respect for the trailblazing women who have paved the way and those currently shining in the poker scene.

Furthermore, she emphasized the prestige of the WSOP, highlighting her pursuit of a coveted bracelet in the most renowned poker arena. Notably, this marked her second time ever playing at the WSOP Ladies event, and remarkably, she secured her seat both times through a mere $20 investment in a raffle ticket, yielding $2000 in buy-ins. So, the ladies may have their very own Moneymaker story.

Today, Liz finds herself going into day two in 45th place with 143,000 in chips. There were 1,245 entrants, with 309 remaining and 187 players set to cash. She is a woman who should be watched, and her journey deserves to be told. The only question left to ask her was, what do you wear on Day Two? “My lucky ace socks.”
