Kathy Liebert (born October 1, 1967 in Nashville, Tennessee) is a professional poker player.
Liebert grew up on Long Island in New York. She attended Marist College in Poughkeepsie where she earned a bachelors degree in business and finance. She was hired by Dun & Bradstreet, but left after she was unhappy with corporate life. Successful stock investments allowed her to quit her job and travel the country.
Liebert's poker career started when she began working as a prop player in Colorado. She would later go on to enter tournaments and she won the first Party Poker Million event in 2002, the first limit poker tournament with a $1 million prize. Additionally she has made several final tables of the World Poker Tour. As of 2004, she has one World Series of Poker bracelet and over $1.8 million in tournament winnings.
Although Liebert has made a career out of poker, she still uses her financial acumen to invest in the stock market.
Liebert now resides in Las Vegas, Nevada and Downey, California.
