Blom Cracks Aces to Leave Liberto on Fumes
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Viktor Blom, Phil Hui, and Noah Kelley all limped in before Justin Liberto raised to 250,000 in the big blind. Only Blom called under the gun.
The flop came Q♠3♣J♠ and Liberto bet another 250,000. Blom then moved all in for 415,000 and Liberto called.
Viktor Blom: A♥Q♦7♥5♥4♣ 
Justin Liberto: A♣A♠J♣8♣8♥
Liberto was ahead with his aces until the 5♣ turn improved Blom to queens and fives. The 6♠ river also gave him a low as Blom scooped the pot to double up, leaving Liberto on a short stack.
