The WSOP has moved the final three tables to the streamed feature tables area, which means our live reporting will have to be delayed around 2.5 hours to match the stream, per the WSOP media guidelines. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Liberta stayed ahead on the 4♥Q♥A♠ flop, but the turn was a cruel one for Liberta as the 3♠ peeled to pull Rubin ahead.
Just as Liberta despaired, the river threw another curveball as it came the 9♥ to improve Liberta to a better two pair to take down the pot. Liberta fist pumped and got up from his seat in celebration.

Antony Rubin: 6♠6♥
Jacob Gagnon: A♣10♣
The J♣ river sealed the deal in favor of Rubin, who found the double up with his sixes full of aces through Gagnon.
