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: 
Liberta: 
Ashkenazi: 
Three pocket pairs, and after the community cards came 
, Ashkenazi's kings had held to knock out Liberta in 41st and take a big chunk from Matthews's stack as well.
