Toole Takes Out Liberati; Nearing a Million
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Jake Toole came in for a raise from the hijack seat, Bernard Liberati three-bet all in from the big blind, and Toole made the call.
Toole: 
Liberati: 
Liberati had Toole dominated, and retained his stranglehold on the hand as the flop fell 
, but the 
spiked on the turn to give Toole a set of jacks.
Only two cards in the deck would save Liberati from elimination, and unfortunately for him the 
on the river wasn't one of them. He will hit the exits, while Toole chipped up to nearly a million.

Gileno, Papola, and Von Kriegenbergh Bust
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Jeff Madsen raised to 13,500 from under the gun, and four players called him; William Bariban, Taylor Von Kriegenbergh, Andrew Gileno, and Chris Csik.
The dealer fanned 
, Csik led out for 26,000 from the small blind, Madsen raised to 85,000, both Bariban and Von Kriegenbergh folded, and Gileno moved all in for around 230,000. Csik folded, and Madsen called.
Madsen: 
Gileno: 
Gileno's flush draw was no good - unless the hit a runner-runner straight flush - but he had two live cards and an open-ended straight draw. The 
on the turn took away his outs to win the hand with just one pair, and the 
bricked off on the river to eliminated him.
Von Kriegenbergh and Jeff Papola were both eliminated afterwards with unknown action.
