Limits: 15,000-30,000

Qinghai Pan raised in early position and Scott Bohlman put a third bet in from the small blind. David Lieberman called in the big.

Blinds: 6,000-12,000
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.
