KATHY JOINS PARTY POKER

Battle of the Sexes winner has plenty more tourneys ahead

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 PartyPoker 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.
