Johnson Pressures Liberto Out
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Justin Liberto limped from the cutoff. Luis Velador called from the small blind and Marco Johnson checked out of the big blind.
After Velador checked the 8♠5♦Q♥ flop, Johnson bet 40,000, which only Liberto called.
Johnson put out a bet of 125,000 when the 8♣ fell on the turn. Liberto called.
When the 2♣ landed on the river, Johnson bet 135,000, which was for all of Liberto's chips. Liberto shook his head, rechecked his cards, then tossed them into the muck, surrendering the pot to Johnson.
