On a flop of 6♥10♠J♣ with 60,000 already in the pot, Shawn Daniels led out for 10,000 from the small blind, and Justin Liberto called from the big blind.
The turn brought the A♣, and Daniels turned up the heat with a bet of 55,000. Liberto called again.
The river was the A♦, and both players checked. Liberto revealed 10♣3♣ to take down a nice pot with just one pair, while Daniels quickly mucked his cards.
