Sick River Boosts Liberta

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Joseph Liberta raised to 350 on the button and the small blind was the only caller.

The small blind check-called 400 on the {k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop and the turn was the {4-Hearts}. This time the small blind led for 1,600 and Liberta put his opponent all in for 1,600. His opponent called.

Joseph Liberta: {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
All-in Player: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

"Sick turn," said Liberta, as his opponent counterfeited Liberta's two pair to take the lead. If the turn was sick, the river was even sicker coming {k-Diamonds} to improve Liberta to a full house and eliminate his opponent.
