Liberto Bluffs Off a Chunk

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Justin Liberto
Justin Liberto

Justin Liberto bet 6,800 on a {k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades} board and got called by Derek Dempsey on the button. Liberto put Dempsey all in for 28,500 on the {10-Spades} river, and Dempsey sighed and looked away as he thought it over. A couple of minutes later, he flicked in a few chips, and Liberto turned over {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

"Sixes?" Dempsey asked, thinking he was done. His {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} was good, though.

Friedman Shoves, Gets There

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Adam Friedman shoved all in for about 21,000 effective on a board of {7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}, and his opponent on his right was thinking it over. Finally, he halfheartedly splashed his stack in.

Friedman: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Friedman was behind for the moment but he had a ton of outs with a combo draw and overcards. The river was a {10-Clubs}, completing his straight draw.

"Right play, wrong result," the player who lost said with a smile.

Stan Jablonski

Three players checked an {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} flop, and Stan Jablonski bet 5,500 on the {6-Diamonds} turn from early position. Only Joseph Cashen called, and the river was a {3-Clubs}. Jablonski put his last 5,600 in, and Cashen made what appeared to be a reluctant call.

Jablonski showed {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, and Cashen indicated it was good, pointing at the kicker before flipping {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Cashen Gets a Dream Turn

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A player under the gun bet 5,000 on a board of {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades}, and Joseph Cashen raised to 12,000. His opponent called, and the river brought the {6-Spades}. The first player checked, and Cashen tossed in 20,000. His opponent called for most of his stack, but Cashen had {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for eights full.

Alexander Takes a Hit as Jacobini Stacks Up

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Matt Alexander
Matt Alexander

Three players got it all in on a {4-Spades}{a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop, with Mid-States Poker Tour Team Pro Matt Alexander covering both of his opponents.

Alexander: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Billy Jacobini: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}
Third player: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Top two was the best hand for the moment, but Jacobini grabbed a big lead when he nailed a flush on the {9-Spades} turn. The {8-Hearts} river changed nothing, and Jacobini had 29,200. That was enough to cover the player who flopped two pair, and Alexander shipped the requisite amount to his right.
