Kathy Liebert - Third Place
Kathy Liebert - Third Place
Hand #152 -

Nenad Medic has the button in Seat 8. He raises to 300,000, Kathy Liebert moves all in for 850,000, Andy Bloch re-pots to 2,800,000, and Medic calls all in. Bloch has both Liebert and Medic covered. And the crowd gets on their feet as the cards are turned over...

Bloch: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Medic: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Liebert: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

The flop is {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Clubs} and the crowd goes nuts as Medic flops a set of queens. The turn is the {4-Clubs} and both Liebert and Bloch are drawing dead. The river is the {5-Clubs}, and Kathy Liebert is our third-place finisher. She'll take home $306,064 and waves in appreciation to the crowd, who honors her finish with a standing ovation.

Andy Bloch has the button in Seat 5. He raises to 250,000, Nenad Medic calls from the small blind and Kathy Liebert calls from the big blind. The flop is {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Medic checks, Liebert checks, Bloch bets 750,000, Medic folds, Kathy folds, and Bloch takes down the pot.

The Long March

We've been playing for nearly eight hours today, and this comes after a marathon 15-hour session last night that didn't end until 5 a.m. Whether fatigue plays a role in deciding the winner remains to be seen -- for the most part the three survivors look sharp, aside from the odd yawn and some distracted eye-rubbing. Last night these players showed that they can be very, very patient, and in a tense three-way standoff like this, patience might be an even greater virtue than endurance.

Hand #149 - Andy Bloch

Nenad Medic has the button in Seat 8. He raises to 300,000 and Andy Bloch calls. The flop is {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Bloch checks, Medic fires out 400,000, Bloch raises to 1,850,000 and after a long think, Medic folds. Bloch takes down the pot.
