Liberati Nearly Mucks

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Faced with a bet of 700 from an unknown opponent on a board of {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{a-Spades}, Mike Leah raised to 1,900. Bernard Liberati called, the bettor folded, and the river was the {10-Diamonds}.

Leah led out for 3,100, Liberati tank-called, and Leah ripped over {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} like it was the nuts. Liberati started to slide his cards slowly to the muck.

"Is that a set of fives?" he asked, leaning forward.

The dealer told him no, it was one pair, and he turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} for a pair of aces.

Three Three's

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Dawn Santoli is very excited to be playing in her first Main Event here at Borgata after winning a seat via a live satellite on Monday, and after smashing a flop against an opponent, she's now one of our early chip leaders.

Santoli fired out a bet of what looked like 6,000 on a board of {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, an opponent moved all in for not much more, and Santoli called.

Santoli: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The hand was over when the {6-Diamonds} fell on the turn, and the {a-Hearts} on the river was but a formality.

Santoli is up to 68,000 chips here in Level 2.

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Brett Richey and Tom Dobrilovic were heads up on a board of {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. Richey had what looked like a pot-sized bet in front of him, and Dobrilovic, the winner of Event 3, tanked for a minute or so before calling.

Richey revealed, {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a set, and Dobrilovic mucked.

"Nice hand," he told Richey, who is up to 52,000 chips.
