Liberta Smashes the Flop to Double

Level 37 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Joseph Liberta
Joseph Liberta

Joseph Liberta found himself short-stacked when Paul Fehlig raised under the gun to 2,100,000 and he jammed from the big blind for 6,300,000. Fehlig quickly called and they both exposed their hands.

Joseph Liberta: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Paul Fehlig: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades}, giving Liberta trip aces, but the sweat wasn't over as Fehlig flopped a gutshot straight draw. Fortunately for Liberta the board completed with the {3-Diamonds} on the turn and the {8-Clubs} on the river to secure the double up.
