Liberto Moving Up the Leaderboard
Justin Liberto: 9x2xAx/4x6x4xJx
Rafael Concepcion: XxXxXx/Ax6x9x6x
Adam Owen: XxXx/Kx - folded bring-in
After a short-stacked Adam Owen folded his bring-in to leave Justin Liberto and Rafael Concepcion heads up, Concepcion bet fourth and fifth streets, getting calls on both streets from Liberto.
On sixth, after picking up a jack to take the lead when Concepcion paired his six, Liberto check-called another bet from Concepcion.
"Chasing me down, hey," commented Concepcion before seventh street was dealt.
On seventh, Liberto now led out with a bet which Concepcion called.
Liberto showed a nine-six that he made on the end.
"Nice catch," said Concepcion as he tossed his cards to the muck.
The pot is the latest in a series that have gone to Liberto to put him near the chip lead.
