Kathy Liebert, A Woman, Goes For First WPT Title (For The Sixth Time)

Unless someone at the final table is blind and only got there through sympathy votes and we're not aware of it, the only real storyline we're following at the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star now is if Kathy Liebert, a woman, can win her first WPT title and become the first woman to ever capture a World Poker Tour title.*

This is Liebert's sixth WPT final table. Phil Ivey got the monkey off his back last year at the LAPC, will Kathy do the same this year?

She'll be third in chips entering play, stacked at 1,180,000. She trails overall big stack Tony Behari (2,046,000) and Steve Brecher (2,016,000) who is making his second WPT final table and we guess some people consider a "name" pro but let's face it, who gives a shit.

Get full chip counts here.

In the words of Johnny Carson, "I did not know that." You learn something new every day.

How the hell did she get herself invited anyway?

Thanks DJ Sly Bri. You must be a DA or English teacher. Men's wife won the WPT Invitational: http://wickedchopspoker.blogs.com/my_weblog/2008/03/kimberly-lans-1.html

Since "Invitational" has about the opposite meaning of "Open" that wouldn't could either.

Yo fellas,

She would not be the fist woman to win. Men Nguyen's wife won an open WPT event last season. Look it up.
