Liberto Doubles Through Palumbo
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Justin Liberto opened to 24,000 in the cutoff and was called by Rocco Palumbo in the small blind and Steve Wilkie in the big blind. The three went to a flop of 
and action checked to Liberto, who continuation-bet 42,000. Palumbo check-raised to 100,000 and Wilkie folded, with Liberto making the call thereafter.
"How much do you have behind?" asked Palumbo as the turn 
came. Liberto showed him a little over 400,000 and Palumbo put out 225,000. Liberto jammed for 404,000 and Palumbo quickly called.
Justin Liberto: 
Rocco Palumbo: 
Liberto's set was ahead of Palumbo's top two pair and flush draw, needing to hold to secure the double, and he did just that as the river 
completed the runout.
