Kathy Liebert Doubles Through Andy Philachack

Kathy Liebert moves all in from the cutoff for 22,000, and Andy Philachack calls from the big blind with [Kh10d]. Liebert shows [Jh9d], and she’ll need to improve to stay alive. 

The board comes [Jd3d2hQc3s], and Liebert pairs her jack on the flop to win the pot and double up in chips. She is still short, with only 13 big blinds, but in much better shape than she was 15 minutes ago.

Kathy Liebert  –  52,000

Andy Philachack  –  42,000

Back in 2007, Bill Edler won a WPT event here at the Beau Rivage after dropping all the way down to less than a big blind on the second-to-last day. A short while ago, Kathy Liebert was down to 4,500 with the blinds at 2,000-4,000.

Can Kathy Liebert manufacture an Edler-like comeback? Stay tuned.
