Liebert Burns a Rebuy

When the WSOP did away with rebuy events last year, the format that they devised to replace rebuys was the "triple chance" format. Players who choose not to redeem their rebuy lammers right away can make some plays they might not otherwise make. For example, Kathy Liebert, sitting in the big blind, re-raised to 600 pre-flop after a player opened for 150. That player called, then called Liebert's all-in shove for 2,725 on a flop of {3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Liebert's {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} was drawing against the other player's top pair, {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Liebert didn't get there and thus rebought for 3,000 chips.
