The flop came 8♦4♥4♠ and Liberto continued for 305,000. Park called and the K♦ fell on the turn.

Big O

"Badugi. I choose violence," Scott Bohlman said after picking the game, but Justin Liberto ended up winning most of the pots during the round with preflop raises.

"It's like he's playing by himself. He's Baltimore Texas Mike," Matthew Schreiber said.

The game then changed to Big O as Schreiber raised to 100,000 on the button. Liberto then reraised to 350,000 in the big blind and Schreiber called.

Bohlman then limped the button, Liberto raised to 200,000 in the small blind, and Bohlman called. Liberto bet 275,000 on the 10♦9♦3♥ flop and Bohlman quickly folded.

The next hand, Andrew Park raised to 150,000 in the small blind and Schreiber called in the big blind.

The flop came 10♣4♠7♣ and Park potted for most of his stack. Schreiber called and they got Park's 585,000 in the middle on the 2♣ turn.

Park had A♣A♦J♣6♠3♥ for the nut flush, while Schreiber showed A♥K♦7♠6♥5♦. The river was the A♠ and Park scooped the pot to double up.
