Level 12

A controversial hand took place deep on Day 2 of Event #20: $300 Gladiators of Poker No-Limit Hold'em involving Men “The Master” Nguyen that saw a player allege that he was shorted several million chips, and busting before the matter could be resolved.

The Gladiator attracted over 20,000 entries — the biggest of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) so far — with 14 players bagging at the end of Monday's play.

One of the players who will not be winning that six-figure payday or the bracelet is Brian Smith, who was involved in one of the most controversial hands of the summer.

Justin Liberto: XxXx/A♦7♦K♦4♥/8♦
Shaun Deeb: Q♥Q♠/2♠3♠10♦3♣/J♣
Adam Owen: XxXx/J♠K♠7♥J♥

Picking up the action on fourth street, Justin Liberto was involved in a hand with Shaun Deeb and Adam Owen. Liberto bet out, receiving calls from both Deeb and Owen.

Fifth street saw Liberto bet again, with Deeb calling off for his remaining chips and Owen flatting.

Owen took over the betting lead on sixth street but Liberto was not going anywhere, instead making the call.

Liberto bet after Owen checked on the river and this time the British pro opted to lay down his hand. Deeb managed two pair at showdown but it was not enough to save him from being eliminated as Liberto likely held a flush to send the six time bracelet winner to the showers.
