Shack-Harris Wins Raising War Against Lieberman; Kornuth, Deeb Enter Negotiations

Level 3 : Limits 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Brandon Shack-Harris: XxXx/6KKA/Xx
Brian Lieberman: XxXx/9335/Xx
Vasilis Lazarou: XxXx/J87 - folded on fifth street

Brian Lieberman bet on fourth street and was called by Brandon Shack-Harris and Vasilis Lazarou.

Shack-Harris then bet on fifth and sixth, and Lieberman called on both streets while Lazarou laid down his cards on fifth. Shack-Harris then bet on seventh, and Lieberman raised. Shack-Harris reraised, and Lieberman folded.

Meanwhile, Shaun Deeb and Chance Kornuth were negotiating a bet at this table. "You're like Kessler. You have no chance to win," Deeb told Kornuth.

"Would you give me 200 to 1?" Kornuth asked, and Deeb said no.

"You just said I have no chance, and you won't give me 200 to 1?" Kornuth added.

"I have an idea. You get to pick one player in the field, and I'll take any random player," Deeb replied, a stipulation that Kornuth agreed to. He picked Scott Seiver, while Deeb settled on the 25th player down the list on the WSOP LIVE app. That happened to be Shack-Harris.

Seiver then called over from another table that he already had 140,000. "Are you playing pot-limit over there?" Kornuth said.

"We're six ways every pot," Seiver replied.
