2022 Poker Hall of Fame nominee Kathy Liebert comes into Sunday as the chip leader with 21,000,000. A win in the Seniors Championship would give her a second bracelet and further validate her undeniable legacy on the felt.

Rounding out the top-five are Alexander Hill (12,500,000) and Argentina's Andres Korn (10,550,000), who is also looking for his second bracelet.
