Liebert Doubles Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

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♥ All in
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.

Rollercoaster Ride for Hendrix

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Adam Lamers

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Michael Dulberg raised it up in middle position and Adam Hendrix three-bet shoved all in for 405,000 from a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Dulberg who quickly called to put Hendrix at risk.

Adam Hendrix: J♠J♦ All in
Michael Dulberg: A♥K♥

The flop came 10♣9♦4♣ and Hendrix remained in front with his pocket jacks. The A♦ on the turn gave Dulberg a pair of aces but it was the J♣ on the river that gave Hendrix a set of jacks for a double-up.
