Fresh off a stunning victory in televised poker's Battle of the Sexes
last week, Kathy Liebert - one of the all time leading female money
winners in professional poker - has joined Party Poker as its
spokeswoman.
With her decisive win Liebert has vaulted into the public eye. On
a show that aired on March 4, she prevailed over 11 men and women
in GSN's Poker Royale: Battle of the Sexes, claiming first prize and
female supremacy in a traditionally male bastion. On March 13th when
the next round of Fox's Poker SuperStars takes to the air Liebert
will take to the felt against a lineup of top poker pros.
The Poker Royale: Battle of the Sexes is far from Liebert's first
trip to the victory circle. In March 2002 she became the first woman
to win a tournament with more than $1 million in prize money at the
inaugural PartyPoker.com Million.
Liebert joins as a spokeswoman just in time for PartyPoker.com Million
IV which takes place on a ship cruising the Mexican Riviera. The tournament
will include Liebert and 750 other hopefuls vying for a prize purse
in excess of $7 million and is being filmed for the World Poker Tour
on The Travel Channel. The tournament cruise departs from San Diego
Harbor on Saturday, March 19, 2005 on Holland America's ms Oosterdam.
Liebert also recently won the $1,500 Hold 'Em Shoot Event at the 2004
World Series of Poker, claiming a $110,180 paycheck and joining the
elite World Series bracelet winners. In addition to her two career
highlights, she has been in the money at more than two dozen major
international poker tournaments and has amassed more than $2 million
tournament winnings in seven years of play.
