Liberto Eliminates Almonte
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Justin Liberto raised to 26,000 from the small blind and Anderson Almonte shoved for a bit over 200,000 from the big blind. Liberto quickly tossed in a single chip to indicate a call and hands were revealed.
Anderson Almonte: 5♥5♣
Justin Liberto: 8♣8♦
Almonte would need some help with his lower pair, but the 3♠Q♥7♦J♣6♦ runout changed nothing — leaving Liberto best with his eights to end Almonte's Main Event run.
