She has also been seen on the third season of American Idol where she made it to "Hollywood Week", as a panelist on Anderson Cooper 360, and for two consecutive seasons, in 2011 and 2012, she was featured as one of the World Poker Tour's "Ones to Watch". In 2013, Maria joined season 9 of the Heartland Poker Tour as a member of their broadcast team, providing the final table strategic commentary.Fluent in Mandarin and born into a traditional Chinese family, Maria's family moved from Taiwan to the United States when she was four-years-old, eventually settling just outside of Los Angeles in Arcadia, California. It was in college that Maria was introduced to playing poker. She was drawn to the psychology and competitive spirit of the game and soon went from playing games with college friends, to playing Limit cash games at nearby Indian casinos. When Maria graduated from UCSD in 2005 with a major in Communications and a minor in Law she had gone from playing low limits to high stakes cash games and had grown her poker bankroll to the point that she felt confident to embark on a career as a professional poker player.Primarily a high stakes cash game and Limit Hold'em specialist, Maria's first tournament success came at the 2007 World Series of Poker where she was the last woman remaining in the Championship Event, placing 38th out of 6,358 players and earning a $237,865 payday. Between 2010-2011 Maria's poker game hit an all-time high with a streak of four final tables and two record-breaking runs, consisting of a 10th place final table finish at the World Poker Tour’s Bellagio Cup, a final table and 6th place finish at the WSOP South Africa Circuit Event, and a 2nd place finish in the Aussie Millions $10,000 buy-in 8-Game tournament.At the 2011 World Series of Poker Maria played heads-up for a WSOP bracelet in Event #4 and broke records for the largest cash a female had ever had at the WSOP when she earned $540,020 for her second place finish. A few months later, at the 2011 World Series of Poker Europe, Maria finished the Main Event in 27th place, becoming the first and only player to ever hold the title Last Woman Standing at both the WSOP and WSOPE Main Events. Her streak continued in the 2012 World Series of Poker where she was named the most-cashing female of the Series, wit
