Liu Bubbles Out

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Peixin Liu
Peixin Liu

Peixin Liu jammed for about 300,000 and was called by big blind Terry Ring, who woke up with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. Liu was dominated with {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and an ace-high flop and a brick turn signaled the end for Liu.

Players are redrawing for the final table.

Liu Triples Up

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Peixin Liu pushed all in for 108,000 under the gun and was called by James Maxey. Action folded to Ervin Bjerga, who put Maxey all in for another 750,000. Maxey folded.

Bjerga: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Liu: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Liu held on as the board ran out {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

Bjerga Doubles Through Liu

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Ervin Bjerga
Ervin Bjerga

Ervin Bjerga opened for 162,000 in the small blind, and Peixin Liu went all in. Bjerga thought for a couple of minutes and called off for 379,000.

Bjerga: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Liu: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}

"Good call," the former champ said.

Liu got nothing on the {3-Clubs}{a-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop but a {9-Spades} turn gave him a flush draw. The board harmlessly paired with the {a-Clubs} on the river.

Dennis Stevermer followed up a second place finish last time at this venue by cashing in 13th today. Not what he hoped for undoubtedly, but still an impressive follow-up.
