Reverse Sykology Gets Liebert to Lay it Down
Action was picked up after Kathy Liebert had fired for 50,000 from the button. Shelton Sykes, the big blind, moved all in for 450,000. Liebert then went into the tank.
"I'm thinking about folding," she shared, "not really a folding hand though. Actually, this is the only hand I could fold here."
"I'll show you" Sykes told her.
"I was going to jam. I almost opened jammed," said Liebert.
"I got a great hand," Sykes said matter of factly.
"Is it ace king great?"
"That's not a great hand."
"Ace king isn't a great hand?" responded Liebert. "He's actually talking me out of it. But why would he say all this?" Eventually, she had made up her mind. "I'm gonna fold," she said, before moving her hand towards the dealer. Sykes turned over 
.
"Is that not a great hand?" said Sykes.
"You had me," Liebert told him, "Against ace king I'm flipping. Against queens I'm behind."
