Liebert Doubles Up
Maksim Pisarenko opened to 30,000 in middle position and got a caller in Ritvars Cekalins in hijack. When action folded to the button, Kathy Liebert shoved all-in for around 150,000. Jacob Frank, to her immediate left, shoved all-in as well for around 500,000.
This prompted Liebert to say, "Oh no," then looked at PokerNews and said, "Write it down, Kathy triples up. Write it." Unfortunately though, both Pisarenko and Cekalins got out of the way, leaving the other two players to head to showdown.
Kathy Liebert: Q♠Q♥ 
Jacob Frank: J♥J♦
"Give me a queen. I don't want a sweat," Liebert said as the dealer showed a board of 3♣4♠9♥K♠5♦. Vindicated, Liebert's queens held. She scooped the pot telling her table that she knew she was going to win after having waited for so long.
