Dunlevy Makes the Wrong Read on Liberto

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Justin Liberto
Justin Liberto

With around 30,000 in the pot on a board of 6258, Justin Liberto bet 12,500 from the hijack and Russ Dunlevy called in the small blind.

The river was the 6 and Liberto moved all in for 45,000. "Ah man, I came this far," Dunlevy mused to himself.

"Do you have anything you want to say? I think it's ace-jack of diamonds or ace-jack of clubs," he added as he eventually called after a few minutes deliberation. Liberto, though, instead turned over 66 for quads, and Dunlevy mucked KK.

At another table, Nicholas Verderamo busted Akash Patel when he rivered a set of fours holding 44 on a board of 367K4 and Patel flung two queens into the muck.

Max Kim

Five players went to a flop of 3J7 where Matthew Su bet 2,000 from the big blind. Only Max Kim called under the gun.

Su bet another 7,000 on the 4 turn, and Kim raised to 13,600. The dealer made him put in at least 14,000, and Su called.

The river was the A, and Kim moved all in for 28,000. Su didn't take too long before folding, and Kim took the pot.

At another table, Daniel Iachan moved all in for 37,000 from the cutoff on a board of J5105 and Danny Nguyen called in the big blind. Nguyen showed QJ for top pair, but Iachan had AA.

The river was the 6, and Iachan doubled up.
