Women in Poker Hall of Famer Kathy Liebert Wins Wynn Ladies Event

Women in Poker Hall of Famer Kathy Liebert won her latest poker trophy and added to her nearly $7 million in live earnings this month as she took down the Wynn Signature Series Ladies Event at Wynn Las Vegas for $5,806.

Liebert, wearing her favorite color purple, topped a field of 41 runners in the $300 buy-in event, with those who cashed including California’s Coletta Ray (5th - $1,320) and Nevadans Amy Wingate (4th - $1,800), Marjorie Dacko ($2,512) and runner-up Lisa Childers, a longtime grinder who earned $3,562 for her runner-up finish.

Liebert, who was inducted into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame in 2010 and has been nominated multiple times for the Poker Hall of Fame, has won dozens of live tournament victories dating back to 1994, including a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet victory in 2004’s $1,500 Limit Hold’em Shootout. But the victory at the Wynn on Aug. 16 gave Liebert her first live win in over a decade.

In August 2013, Liebert won a $140 event in the same venue for $1,394. Liebert also won an online WSOP Circuit event in 2022 for $18,641 and her first Circuit ring.

Biography Kathy Liebert is an American poker player and WSOP bracelet winner. Over the course of her career, she has cashed for over $6.4 million and is second behind Vanessa Selbst in the female all-time money list. PokerNews Interview: Kathy Liebert on Hats, Massages, and the Color Purple Liebert has cashes dating back to 1994 around the United States including at Amarillo Slim’s Superbowl of Poker, California State Championship and World Series of Poker.

In 2002, she won the Party Poker Million Cruise for $1,000,000, becoming the first woman to win a $1 million prize. In 2011, she told PokerNews that this was her biggest achievement. “If that had been a WPT event, I would have been the first woman to win a WPT event,” she told PokerNews. “That was actually Steve Lipscombs first Travel Channel poker show, so Im not sure thats the one Im most proud of but I did beat Phil Hellmuth, Chris Ferguson, and Mel Judah at the final table. So I guess in a sense that would be the biggest. In 2002, she again finished runner-up in a bracelet event for $91,700 before winning her first bracelet in 2004.
