Justin Liberto opened to 4,000 in the hijack and was called by Walter Chambers in the cutoff, Nacho Barbero in the small blind, and Chad Eveslage in the big blind.
On the Q♠6♦3♥ flop, it checked to Liberto who bet 5,500, and he was called by Chambers and Eveslage.
The Q♥ turn checked through to the J♣ river, which saw Eveslage check for a third time to Liberto who bet 23,000 into 34,000. Chambers flatted after a short tank and Eveslage got out of the way. Liberto tabled A♥A♣Q♣8♠ for trip queens which were best, and Chambers flashed K♥K♦ as he mucked.
Amidst the constant seat changes in the early proceedings of the tournament, there was an orphaned backpack that was next to a seat previously occupied by Nacho Barbero. Naoya Kihara came over to Nacho with the bag, causing the aghast Argentinian to reply, "Are you f**cking kidding me bro? You really think I would carry that sh*t around on the strip? That thing is so ugly."
