Liebert Arrives With a Mountain of Chips

GeoffFisk

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson and Vanessa Kade are seated at the same table, along with big-stacked Wim Verhaegen, who's sitting on an above-average stack of 185,000 chips.

That stack was eclipsed, however, when Kathy Liebert arrived at the table and started un-racking a stack of 385,000.

Liebert is seated right next to Ferguson, and the two were reminiscing about a poker cruise from 17 years ago that apparently involved Phil Hellmuth getting heated about an attempted bluff. It's fascinating to picture the scene from this cruise full of poker legends, circa 2002.

Kathy Liebert	285,000 -195,000	-195,000

Wim Verhaegen	185,000 185,000	185,000
Chris Ferguson	85,000 13,300	13,300

Vanessa Kade	60,000 -89,100	-89,100

Aces Are not Good for Hellmuth

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The button player opened to 10,000 and Phil Hellmuth raised it to 40,000 from the blinds. The initial player called and the flop fell . Both players checked.

Things heated on the turn after Hellmuth check-raised all in after his opponent bet 50,000. The latter ended up calling for a stack of 193,500 to create the following showdown:

Phil Hellmuth:
His opponent:

Hellmuth stood up from his chair, seeing two pair in his opponent's hand and his pocket aces cracked. The river didn't change anything and Hellmuth was left with 33,000 after that hand. The owner of 15 WSOP bracelets busted a few minutes later.
