Big O
Justin Liberto, Lawrence Berg, and Lee Rough were in for 380,000 each preflop.
Berg announced a pot-sized bet of 1,100,000 on the 8♥8♣2♣ flop, which got a fold from Lee and a shove for 1,875,000 from Liberto. Berg quickly called with a slightly covering stack and a showdown was held.
Justin Liberto: A♥8♦6♦4♣3♠
Lawrence Berg: A♣K♥6♣3♥2♠
Liberto held trip eights and improved to a full house on the A♦ turn.
The J♣ river completed the board and Liberto was awarded the double up — leaving Berg with just 165,000 behind to work with.
