The poker pro soon became the only woman to ever reach the number one ranking in the world on the Global Poker Index.

In 2008, Selbst won her first-ever WSOP bracelet for an impressive $227,933 in prize money, after four years she took down 2012 WSOP 10-Game Six Handed for $244K.

Rank #1 in Tennessee’s all-time money list, ‘PokerKat’ has been a regular face in WSOP for nearly decades. Liebert stepped into live poker arena in 1994 Gold Coast Open in Las Vegas where she finished 2nd. She has already marked her name in the history with 6 final tables in World Poker Tour (WPT), another prestigious live poker brand. At the 2004 WSOP, Liebert won a gold bracelet in a $1,500 Limit Texas hold ’em Shootout event. The skilled pro has already cashed 8 times in the year 2020!

  • Best Live Cash – $1 million
  • Total Live Earnings – $6 million

Quote – “I used all of my acting skills. At one point I let them think I had a poor hand. I knew if they smelled weakness, they would try to bluff me and I had “the nuts.” The guys put all their chips in when I had the superior hand. Their egos got the best of them. It serves them right to get beaten by a woman.”
