Justin Liberto Eliminated in 19th Place ($26,240)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Justin Liberto
Justin Liberto

Jerry Maher's {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} was good for a double-up through Justin Liberto, who had {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The board came {a-}{q-}{5-}{2-}{a-} giving Maher the pot with trip aces.

Liberto was left short, with only about 500,000, and got that in the middle from the small blind against Qi Hu (button). Liberto's {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} needed help against Hu's {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, but the flop of {a-}{a-}{9-} gave Hu the full house and left Liberto drawing dead.

Justin Liberto finished in 19th place, earning $26,240.

Baumstein Doubles Twice to Start the Day

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Scott Baumstein
Scott Baumstein

Scott Baumstein started the day as the short stack with only 65,000 and on the first hand, he was under-the-gun and opted to fold.

His second hand he was pot committed as the big blind and was all-in holding {q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} against Uke Dauti's dominating {q-Spades}{5-Clubs}. The board fell {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, however, and Baumstein paired his kicker to double up.

On the third hand, he put in his last chips (100,000) from the small blind and Ryan D'Angelo called from the big. Baumstein's {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} was looking good against D'Angelo's {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and the runout of {a-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{a-Hearts} was good for Baumstein, who doubled again to 230,000 (8 big blinds).
