Kat Fight
Two of the most accomplished female figures in poker, Kathy Liebert and Vanessa Selbst, are in the building today, and in fact they are seated only a table apart from one another.
Both Liebert and Selbst have become inspirations for the growing number women who preferred to play open events rather than ladies' only affairs, with Liebert becoming an icon for an earlier generation when women were outsiders in the poker world, and Selbst redefining the modern concept of hyper-aggressive, read based poker with her innovative approach to the game.
We recently witnessed Selbst drop a small pot, as she folded to a bet of 375 on the board. Nonetheless, she still holds enough chips to remain the most dangerous player at her table by a wide margin.
Meanwhile, at the next table over, Liebert took down a small pot with a continuation bet on a jack-high flop. She hopes to build a large enough stack here today to make a deep run, and cash for her second time here at the 2013 WSOP.
