$2,650 No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 3: 75/150/25
Players: 399

Kathy Liebert, who currently sits second on the Women’s All-Time Money List with over $6 million in winnings, raised to 400 from middle position and action folded to Ryan Laplante, who if you recall won a gold bracelet this summer at the World Series of Poker.

Laplante opted to defend and then both players checked the flop. After the dealer burned and turned the , Laplante led out for 800 and a short-stacked Liebert took her time before moving all in for 4,625 total. That did the trick as Laplante quickly released.

Meanwhile, Ludovic Geilich was eliminated from the tournament. He was crippled after getting it in with a pair and flush draw, which was bested by an overpair. Geilich’s few remaining chips disappeared a short time later.

For those unfamiliar with Geilich, he is an accomplished European pro who speaks with a strong Scottish accent, though he considers himself both Scottish and German (he has a parent from each country).

A proficient snooker player, Geilich topped a field of 499 entires earlier this year to win the 2016 Wynn Classic Main Event for $150,662. Geilich has nearly $1.3 million in lifetime earnings, but of course he won’t be adding to that in this event.

Ryan Laplante – 17,000
Kathy Liebert – 9,800
Ludovic Geilich – Eliminated
