Kathy Liebert Crippled but Not Dead Yet

Kathy Liebert raised to 25,000 from middle position and Matthias Neu raised all in for 187,000 from the small blind.

Liebert tanked until the clock was called. Convinced she was racing, she made the call and proved herself correct.

Liebert: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Neu: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

When the board came {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, Neu's nines held and he doubled to 374,000 while Liebert was left with just 10,000.

She got her small stack in a couple of hands later and tripled up when her {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} out-flopped Alexander Turyansky's {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} on a board of {K-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{X}.

Liebert doubled yet again on the next hand when she rivered a straight with {7-?} {8-?} against Christian Iacobellis. She now has a stack around 55,000.
