Liebert Eliminated on the Bubble

Chris Dombrowski opened the pot with a min-raise from under the gun and the action folded all the way around the table to Kathy Liebert in the big blind, who just called.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}

and Liebert open-shoved all in for a total of 5,100. Dombrowski insta-called and turned over the {K-Clubs}

for middle pair; Liebert tabled two red nines and was drawing slim.

When the {J-Clubs}

fell on the turn, one of Liebert's outs was stolen, as the {9-Clubs}

would've given Dombrowski a club flush. Liebert was forced to sweat the river for a solid two minutes due to the "action-for-action" rule in place here at Tahoe, as Scott Clements was all in over on table three and Mike McClain took ages considering a call, but eventually folded.

The senior tournament staff member finally gave the dealer the green light to expose the river and it was the {J-Hearts}

. No miracle for Liebert and she found herself out in 19th place, earning the unwanted title of bubble girl.
