Jul 5, 2021
Kathy Liebert (pictured) says, “Do you want some poker news? I had aces, and Ryan Riess had kings. That’s the news.”
Filling in the details, WPT Champions Club member Ryan Riess got it all in preflop with pocket kings, but ran into Liebert’s aces. A set of aces on the flop for Liebert killed most of Riess’s hope, and he was eliminated from the tournament.
