Limits: 12,000-24,000
David Lieberman raised from under the gun, and Daniel Negreanu three-bet from the button. Kyle Ray then moved all in for 20,000 from the big blind. Lieberman called Negreanu’s raise, creating a side pot.
The flop came 8♥6♣9♠. Lieberman led out, and Negreanu made the call. Both players then checked the Q♣ turn leading to the 3♥ river that Lieberman checked.
Believing Negreanu had checked back, Lieberman exposed his 5♣5♠. However, Negreanu hadn’t acted yet. He eventually checked back with K♠J♣, conceding the side pot to Lieberman.
Ray, who was all in, tabled 10♣7♦ for a flopped straight and scooped the main pot, secured a triple-up.
