Ashkenazi Ousts Liberta

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After a short-stacked Joseph Liberta pushed all in for 95,000 from early position, Ido Ashkenazi reraised all in from a couple of seats over for 218,000.

It folded back around to Hend Matthews in the big blind, the action pausing for a while at Patrick Houchins in the cutoff seat who thought a while before letting his hand go. Matthews then tanked for some time before finally emerging with a call.

Matthews: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Liberta: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Ashkenazi: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Three pocket pairs, and after the community cards came {3-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Ashkenazi's kings had held to knock out Liberta in 41st and take a big chunk from Matthews's stack as well.
