| Justin Liberto (Baltimore, MD) |
Justin Liberto's (Baltimore, MD) last hand was really just a formality, as he was all-in for less than 75,000. It was the hand prior that was his undoing, as he and Scott Blackman got all the chips in pre for a pot worth 5,700,000. Liberto held J♥ J♦ against the K♥ K♣ of Blackman, with a runout of 5♠ K♠ Q♦ 2♣ 7♣.
Blackman eventually eliminated Justin the next hand as his pocket eights held up against Liberto's Ax 5x. Over the Twitter-sphere, Liberto was considered one of the favorites to win this tournament, having such a remarkable history in this room. Justin collects $3,823 for the 18th place finish, adding to his supreme Big Stax resume.
