Word reaches the 5am Girls that Liz Lieu, one of our favourite poker hotties, is up for an award for her charity work.

The stunning 35-year-old, already boasts career winnings of nearly $830,000, has starred in a hit movie, has a pro contract with Chilipoker.com, is a successful businesswoman and philanthropist.

And now the Vietnamese sex kitten has proved herself even more adorable, by helping to alleviate poverty in her homeland.

"I started doing charity work in Vietnam when my Father moved back six years ago, recalls Liz, who is up for two Maven Awards

"I started travelling there more often and I had an opportunity to see firsthand, how many people were suffering in my homeland and it broke my heart to see so many people suffering.

"It feels really good to help people who suffer through poverty, tragedy, and natural disasters at no fault of their own. I have been extremely fortunate and blessed in my life, and it only made sense for me to give back."

Lizzie Babes, we salute you. And if you do have any spare time, feel free to pop round to 5am Towers and do the ironing.
