Hands 111-113

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #111: Chen limped his button, Liberto checked his option, and the flop of {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} saw him lead out for 225,000. Chen called, the turn came {10-Diamonds}, and a second barrel of 460,000 gave Liberto the pot.

Hand #112: Chen's open of 400,000 was enough to force folds around the table.

Hand #113: Liberto raised to 420,000 from the button, and Bennington and Chen flatted from the blinds. The flop of {5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} was checked down, and the {7-Hearts} arrived on the turn. This time Bennington led out for 400,000, Chen called, and Liberto raised it up to 1.1 million. Michael responded with an all-in reshove, which was good enough to scare Liberto away.

Hand #114: Chen limped from the small blind after it folded to him, and Gray checked his option. They checked down a board of {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, but on the river {3-Diamonds} Grey followed Chen's check with a bet of 200,000. Chen looked him up with {9-}{5-} for fourth pair, and the hand proved to be good.

Hands 114-117, Gray Doubles Through Chen

Level 34 : 120,000/240,000, 40,000 ante

Hand #114: Chen limped his button, departing from typical tournament strategy during these late stages, and Gray shoved his short-stack forward. Chen must have not expected this move from Gray, depsite the latter holding only 10 big blinds, as he mucked his hand rather quickly.

Hand #115: Liberto limped from the small blind, Bennington checked his option, and by betting the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Spades} flop Liberto took it down.

Hand #116: Liberto opened to 480,000 from the button, earning the blinds and antes.

Hand #117: Chen moved all-in with {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts} to force Gray to a decision, and with {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} the decision was simple. He called to put his tournament at risk, and a runout of {J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} doubled his stack of 2.91 million.

Hands 118-122

Level 34 : 120,000/240,000, 40,000 ante

Hand #118: Bennington opened for 500,000 from under the gun, and Liberto called from to defend his big blind. On the {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts} both players checked it down the whole way, and Liberto opened up {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a rivered pair, which was good enough to take the pot.

Hand #119: Liberto bumped it to 525,000 from the small blind and took down a pile of ante chips.

Hand #120: Gray raised to 600,000 from under the gun, good enough to fold the table.

Hand #121: Opening for 480,000 under the gun, Liberto claimed yet another small pot.

Hand #122: Bennington raised from under the gun, making it 500,000 to play, Liberto called defending his big blind, and the flop of {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} was checked down. The turn card came {8-Clubs}, Liberto led out for 390,000, and Bennington came along to see the {3-Diamonds} fall on the river. Liberto then check-called a bet of 500,000, but mucked when Bennington rolled over the {A-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a rivered bottom pair.

Hands 123-128: Much Ado About Nothing

Level 34 : 120,000/240,000, 40,000 ante

Hand #123: Liberto raised to 495,000 out of the small blind, and Bennington defended from the big. A flop of {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{2-Spades} was checked through, and on the {9-Hearts} turn Liberto took it down with a 425,000 bet.

Hand #124: Gray won the blinds and antes with a raise to 550,000 from under the gun.

Hand #125: With his stack dwindling quickly after the dinner break, Chen open-shoved for roughly 2.6 million, claiming the dead money.

Hand #126: Holding the biggest stack at the table, Liberto received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #127: Liberto limped in on the small blind and Bennington checked his option, bringing a flop of {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} to the board. After checks around, the {8-Spades} arrived on the turn, prompting Liberto to lead out for 325,000. Bennington called this bet, and on the {9-Spades} river, he led again for 645,000. Bennington raised to 1.5 million, however, and his aggression earned him this sizable pot.

Hand #128: Bennington raised to 520,000 in the small blind, but folded after Chen three-bet all-in for his remaining 2.9 million chips.
