Liberto Eliminates Almonte

Dan O'Hair

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♣ All in
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.

Miravi Runs Good with Set over Set

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Four players were on a pot of around 70,000 and a flop of Q♠2♥3♣. After action was passed to him by Ilya Nikiforov in the small blind and Michael Miravi under the gun, Bradley Pollard in late position fired 20,000.

In cutoff, Carmino Argiero raised to 50,000. Nikiforov got out of the escalating heat, but Miravi cranked it up with a three-bet of 125,000.

Pollard, not letting go of his hand, four-bet all-in for 187,000 sending Argiero to the tank. Rubbing his cards on the felt and staring directly at the board, Argiero went into deep thought considering his options. Finally, he folded after which Miravi snap-called.

Bradley Pollard: 3♥3♠ All in
Michael Miravi: Q♦Q♣

With the hands tabled, Argiero cheered at was apparently a good fold. He claimed he had pocket deuces for the bottom set. Pollard had middle set while Miravi had top set.

The runout of A♠4♠ didn't help Pollard at all, sending him to hit the rails.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 9♠3♠Q♣2♠ and 100,000 in the middle, Corey Wick checked from the hijack and Stephen Chidwick bet 75,000 from the cutoff. Wick called.

Chidwick continued for 230,000 when checked to on the 4♥ river. Wick shoved for just 12,000 more and Chidwick snap-called.

Wick had top pair with Q♥J♠ but Chidwick had the nut-flush with A♠4♠ to eliminate Wick and take down the sizable pot.
