Kathy Liebert Busts Someone

One player is all in preflop against Kathy Liebert and the small blind. The flop comes {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Liebert bets, and her opponent folds. The all-in player shows K-Q for two pair, but Liebert shows {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for the nut flush, with the royal flush draw. Her opponent needs a king or a queen to survive with a full house, but the last two cards are blanks, and he is eliminated.

Kathy Liebert now has about 113,000 in chips.

Anna Wroblewski Bounces Back

Anna Wroblewski raises to 12,000, Phil Olbrecht moves all in for 32,500, and Wroblewski calls with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. Olbrecht shows {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, and he's a favorite to double up. The board comes {K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}, and Olbrecht flops a set of kings to win the pot and double up to about 70,000 in chips. Wroblewski drops down to about 68,000.

A few minutes later, Wroblewski is in a pot against Eric Hershler.

After a flop of {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}, Hershler checks from the small blind, the big blind checks, Wroblewski bets 6,000 from middle position, Hershler calls, and the big blind folds. The turn card is the {K-Hearts}, Hershler checks, Wroblewski bets 15,000, and Hershler folds. Wroblewski shows {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a gutshot straight draw as she collects the pot.

Anna Wroblewski is back up to about 89,500 in chips.
