3: Barrels: Lew joins Liquid; Barbero LAPT record; Mahoney rocking & rolling

 3-Barrels of true value including Randy Lew joining Team Liquid, Jose Barbero winning a third Latin American Poker Tour Main Event, and Patrick Mahoney taking the largest prize of the week at the Rock n Roll Open.

Randy ’nanonoko’ Lew is the latest professional poker player to successfully represent a major eSports team and online poker room simultaneously after signing with Team Liquid.

Lew joins the team as a Hearthstone player and will compete alongside his fellow PokerStars Team Pro, Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier who rejoined the professional eSports ranks when he joined Team Liquid as a Hearthstone player in Nov 2015.

Like ElkY (who was a pro StarCraft player before poker), Lew was also a pro gamer before finding a more enriching monetary reward in poker. Lew used to make a living playing fighting games such as Marvel v Capcom 2.
