Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Brian Yoon opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and David "ODB" Baker called on the button. Justin Liberto three-bet jammed to 160,000 with just 5,000 behind and Yoon folded as Baker took some time to help Liberto see a pay jump.

Liberto tanked before checking on the flop of Q♠9♦Q♥ and Baker bet to put him all in. Liberto called.

Justin Liberto: A♥K♣ All in
David "ODB" Baker: 10♣10♠

Liberto needed to hit an ace or a king and did so as the board finished out 5♦K♠ to bring him a double.

"That's not surprising," commented Jared Jaffe. "The only surprising thing is that he had that many outs."

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Frank Brannan raised to 40,000 in early position and Michael Bohmerwald moved all in from the big blind. Brannan awaited the results of an all-in at another table before he called for 350,000.

Frank Brannan: 9♥9♠ All in
Michael Bohmerwald: 3♠3♦

Brannan had Bohmerwald dominated as the board ran out A♦K♦7♦6♠4♣ to earn him a double up.

The next hand, Curt Kohlberg raised to 45,000 in the cutoff and Bohmerwald reraised to 180,000, leaving only a few chips behind. Kohlberg moved all in and Bohmerwald called off his last chips.

Michael Bohmerwald: 5♣5♦ All in
Curt Kohlberg: Q♥Q♦

Bohmerwald had again run into a bigger pocket pair and, just like the first time, found no help on the A♦8♠2♠3♥6♦ board as he was sent to the rail.
