Chris Lee raised to 500,000 on the button and Justin Liberto called in the big blind.
The flop rolled out 8♥7♦5♦ and Liberto checked over to Lee, who bet 1,000,000.
Liberto called to see the K♦ turn, where he checked a second time to Lee, who bet 1,500,000. This time, Liberto raised to 6,700,000 and Lee responded by moving all in for 13,800,000, which Liberto called.
Chris Lee (VA): A♣9♠6♠5♠3♣

A 10♥ river saw an eruption of cheers from Liberto's rail as his nut flush and low held up to scoop both halves of the pot against Lee's second nut low and straight.
