: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Justin Liberto was all in for 1,800,000 with A♠8♣ and up against Phong Nguyen's A♥5♦, but they chopped the pot on the 3♦2♣10♠K♥3♥ board.
Liberto then raised to 160,000 on the button and Kyle Smith called in the big blind. Smith led out for 300,000 on the 9♠4♥6♠ flop, and Liberto folded.
Smith then raised to 200,000 on the button and Liberto three-bet to 415,000 in the small blind. Smith moved all in, and Liberto gave up his hand.
Smith directed his assault at Nguyen the next hand, when Nguyen opened to 240,000 in the small blind. Smith then moved all in, and Nguyen folded.
