Its Cooler This Way

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

From the hijack, Robert Mcveigh opened for 150,000 and Justin Liberto three-bet to 410,000. This prompted Liberto to four-bet the action to 1.15 million, and Liberto responded in kind with a five-bet shove.

Action of this sort typically suggests monster hands will be tabled, and this occassion was no exception.

Showdown:

Liberto: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Mcveigh: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The classic cooler put Liberto in great shape to double, and when a third king came on the {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, he surged to an overwhelming lead in the hand. Mcveigh was drawing dead when the {2-Spades} turned, and the {9-Clubs} on the river was irrelevant.
